My Ride: 545 modded the F out
Are you really running a 225 on 9.5 wheels? I'm a noob here and you seem to know what you're doing. haha.
I have a set of four 265/30/20 tires and I'm trying to figure out if I get 20x9.5 all around if the wheels would fit up front....and if I lowered it, how far I would be able to go.
I love your car....it has inspired me too. I talked to Project 5 and I'll be getting a Vorsteiner hood from him, but it's still a few months away. Thanks for referring me to him.

Thanks man. Here's some that I took prior to having them powder coated. The stretch isn't that bad, but its definitely noticeable. Im gonna be pulling my fenders so the poke won't be there much longer.

Thanks man. Yea that pic was taken with H&R sport springs and stock sport suspension. I've since upgraded my suspension to the Ksports so I wanna see how low I can take it without having to sacrifice too much. The roads over here in the Bay aren't that bad and it's only my lady and I in my car most of the time so I'm not too worried about it. I have yet to see how much lower I can take it, but this is how my car sits right now on 166's and rolled fenders. The poke looks interesting to me and I do kinda like it, but I just don't think theres any getting around not hitting the lip and the fender on bumps and what not so that's why I want to pull the fender out as much a I can.

That is just how the car is sitting until my DPE's get put back on. The stock 166's with no spacers look really weird being that the fenders were rolled twice already so at times I share the same sentiments. I'm sure, even if the car remains at this height, the DPE's will make it look much better. I'll most definitely be raising her up a bit tho. More than likely I'll have it close to or a little lower than the height the car was at when when the test fit was taken seen in the earlier shots.
like such..probably a tad bit lower tho
