New Wheel Pics

What up everyone, Thaught I would post a couple of pics of the new Wheels/tires. Now I need to get the car dropped to close the gap and to give it that agressive look. Thanks to Mike for the help again.

MRR GT-1 18x8.5 +35 front and 18x9.5 +45 Rear w/ Nitto NT555 235/40/18, 265/35/18

offset please, esp on the rears!

how do you feel about the 265's on 9.5 wheels? looks like a bit of a stretch, maybe 275's would give more curb-rash protection?

wheels do look good, but hurry w/ the suspension!!!

Thanks for the comments.

Looking to do Coilovers in Aug somtime.

Let me know if anyone finds a good deal out there looking to spend a G to 1400. Prefer Tein or JIC but open to good deal for good coils.

So i just bought a set of Megan Street Coilovers. Figured I would give these a try and they were in my budget to get them asap. Ill test them out and maybe next summer upgrade to a better set up, but the Megan's seem to get decent reviews from other people. Anyone have opinions on these coilovers?

Sweet. I have heard good things (from street guys, not track addicts) about the Megan's but I have had coil overs in the past and they can be a pain to setup properly so most just set it and forget.

Thanks for the great info. If i decide to track more next year I will have to consider upgrading to Coilovers and hopefully with the EDFC.
