Its coming together nicely, +1 for the lowering though. SLAM that Sh!t man!!!
I am not a front plate man myself, but if I was in a place where you had no choice then that euro plate is the way to go for sure.Are your wheels staggered? From one pic (front) it looks like you need rear spacers and from another (rear view) it looks okay so it was hard for me to tell.
Lower it and throw some 167's on there

I don't plan on dropping it anytime soon.As for the spacers, the shop that put the wheels on said the rear could come out an inch. I am just not smart on what to get to bring them out.

Thanks for the inputs. I like the wheels for now. I love the 167s though, they are my favorite OEM wheels. Maybe one day... I don't plan on dropping it anytime soon.

you can get either Eibach or H & R spacers, or a few other brands, but yes you may want to consider getting 12mm spacer set that will bring the rears out nice and flush!
Ive actually seen some folks selling theirs on here, you maybe able to pick up a set 1/2 price ya know! As for your wheels, as they say its a matter or choice, besides I didnt say anything negative
I was just saw some others on here telling you to get different wheels and I thought some 167's would set your car off! If I had a black or dark colored car that'd be the way I would dress up mine!

Thanks for the heads up on the spacers! For the look of my ride, my OEM wheel of choice is the 167s too.
Nice work
