Default Im not really one for "teasers"

But.... I can't find my camera at the moment.....

18x9.5 +15 265/35 Bridgestone REO1A Pole Position
18x10.5 +15 285/35 Bridgestone REO1A Pole Position

These tires seem to stick out a bit more than most so they
protect the wheel if you get a lil too close to a curb, which
means fenders are going to need to be rolled, and while im
at it they are getting stretched as well. Getting all that
done Tuesday

I do have the STechs with modified rear mount, but that's
just not going to be low enough for me. BC Racing Coilovers
are next on my list of things to do.

Actually yes, special color that's not going to be on the market very long I guess. Check out Gruppy-S, they have them.... Not sure who else has them, so it's not like im specifically saying their name, I just know they have them.

lol no spacers... With a +15 offset spacers are not needed at all... Keep in mind I will have to roll the fenders before I can drive it too hard cause the rears do rub when I hit big enough bumps or corner hard, especially with that Bridgestone 285 out back... For track I would do the 9.5 +15 all around (if it were me) that would be perfect and well balanced with some 275/35 all around.

Nice... with my +22 offset compare to your +15 is a big difference. My wheels are tucked in w/o spacers. You got me sold, I'll order mine tomorrow. shave your rear fenders and Drop it more, I want to see how aggressive it will look

That's the plan. Great minds think alike Fenders are also getting pulled a little to widen the fender a little. Coils are next on the list. Bed time... C ya

Oh and these things will clear any BBK Caliper you can think of... 14" rotor may max it out but I have like 5" clearance between the Spoke and stock Caliper... BBK is 2nd on the list

Thanks, I wish I could afford the RE30's

Here is the old setup.



I really like the color of the old setup, but the silver is really growing on me, plus when all is said and done with the fenders the aggressiveness of the new wheels are great....

The works were 18x8.5 and 9.5 with +20. I gained an inch all around in width and the weigh of the Enkie are a bit less than the Works if I recall.

Those are my favorite wheels since I had my escort lol, I love those wheels, I would want the track setup you suggest, with the 275's and the +15 offset, I may look into this.

The SBC was more expensive and im cheap lol....

I'll get more PICS up when I get the fenders rolled. Should look a bit better, also I'll get some impressions up on the tires, they don't seem very sticky right now but they aren't broken in. Also eventhough the wheels are lighter than everything I have had it feel a tad slower than it did with the works. Maybe it's cause im scared to drive it hard cause it will scrape lol.
