Thanks man. I'm hanging onto the VS sides for now because I have a Top Secret replica rear diffuser (from Shine) coming in a couple weeks and I'm not sure if that's going to look right with the stock sides. So once I get the diffuser up I might put the VS back on and see how it looks. Another option I'm kicking around is the Strosek side steps in carbon to add some CF continuity between the front lip and the diffuser.

IMO those gold LE's look beautiful on PPW. I wouldn't change a thing.

But while we're on the topic (sorry for iphone quality):

I've always liked how the Chargespeed Bottomlines compliment the Veilside lip. Either way, keep up the good work .

^ yea I was trying to get them the first go around but it didn't work out.

I like the front fitment. Rear needs a 20mm which I will do till the tires wear down. Then I will go with 275/285 setup. And prob go with 245s up front vs the current 235s

I'm having "trouble" with my 245/35's up front on my LE37t's. The wheels are 19x9.5 +22 and I am running a 10mm spacer, so same +12 offset as you have. The tire looks a bit too skinny to me to be at that offset, but if I went another 5mm out (i.e. use a 15mm spacer) I think the tire would rub the fender liner, or at least the screw clip that holds the fender line to the body.

Here is what I am talking about, specifically (and BTW these are Hankook V12's in 245/35/19), +12 net offset:

IMO 255/35 might be a better choice if you stick with the +12 offset without spacers. At least that's what I wish I would have done.

I did try briefly to wiggle it out but it seemed like it was pretty stuck in there so I gave up. I did take the screw out of it, but left the clip in place. Plus, if I bump the front wheels out another 5mm, I think I would need to do the same for the rears or else the front rim will be poking out noticeably more than the rear. Then my rears would end up with a 20mm spacer (+2 net offset) and would require more negative camber to fit without rubbing (see test-fit picture below with 5mm spacer stacked on the existing 15mm). Looks cool....but sorta-kinda-maybe-hella-unfunctional:

Plus, my ride height isn't actually that low, just compressed here to check fitment, so it wouldn't actually look that good.

Do you have aftermarket camber arms? Your camber looks perfectly in spec.

My wheels are 10.5 +22 all around.

My front are slightly pulled from drifting. The screws and clips are removed on my front fenders. As for the rear. I have a ton of space cause on my 1st setup I had 11 -7 n the rear so the fenders are pulled some.

I'll test out the 245s up front later to see of they rub.

Yep I have SPC adjustable arms and toe bolts in the rear, no adjustability up front. When I had my car aligned last year I asked the shop to dial in "perfect" rear camber and toe so I could maximize tire life. However I did lower the rear coilovers maybe 1/4" this week, so the alignment is no longer quite as "ideal".

With your fronts pulled a bit, I'll bet you could run your +12's with a 5mm spacer and 245/35 without any problem.

^^ 20mm would definitely rub. Getting more negative camber would fix that though.

Those are 275's? On a 10.5" wide wheel? They look more like 255's with all that stretch.

My rears are 19x10.5 +22 with 15mm spacers, so +7 net offset. Tires are hankook v12 275/35. That's why I was surprised how stretched your 275/35s were, because mine are barely stretched.
