to each his own i suppose. I like duals, just the way i am, my bassani sounds legit as hell, 2.75" all the way back, gotta love it. Single does sound good, what Y pipe you gonna get? decide on TPs or HFCs yet?

I ordered a set of 20mm spacers for the rear. so my setup will be 18x10 +12 up front and 18x10 -8 in the rear.

You need wider tires. I know I have 265s on my front but if I could do it again I would get nothing less than a 275 on a 10in wide wheel. It is just my oppinion. I cant wait to see what it looks like when you get your spacers in.

for now i'm gonna slam it down on these 245's and see how i like it. i just may buy beefier tires and put it back up at this height down the road. I just like the stanced look so that's currently what I'm going for.

Did you check the specs on your wheels? Just wondering because you rear wheel looks sunken in too far to be 10" wide +12 offset. I run 10" with +13 and I am flush. If I were to add a 20mm spacer my shiit would be poking waaay out and I am lower than you.

that picture doesn't really show the rear fitment too well. it's also pretty cambered at the moment frm not being aligned yet. I'm putting on my front rear camber kit tomorrow, gonna have it a little less camber in the back

Gotcha. I wasn't trying to be a downer, just curious. Wheels look good, post some pics once you get those spacers on, im curious to see what your fitment looks like with -8.

no spacers yet, but lowered the front a little more. i bought stance coilovers and selling the d2's to a friend of mine with a g35. i'm happy with how my car is looking, and happy i've been getting mostly positive feedback. here's the current setup, gonna have spacers and different coilovers in the next couple weeks.

Rear wiper delete!!
also, what's going on where the hood meets the front bumper? somethin looks outta whack there.

lookin good though


also, Slownfurious, there is now way you are flush with 18x10 +13. Unless you are at stock height.. my old 10.5 +10 wasn't even 100% flush with a 285mm tire.
