Everyone can debate Rota's all they want. It was my choice because it fit my budget and what I liked(which is what matters in the end). Rears are rolled completely along with the bumper tab being grinded down. Fronts haven't been touched and don't need to be.

Going to wash the car and take pics up in Phoenix.

Agreed on the daytime shots.


Mike: The centercaps have an orange lip to them already, so I'm not sure what you mean

They are black, but they come with an orange lip.

Black in the middle and orange around the outside.

I had thought about it, but I dunno. I kind of like the black, but then again I kind of just want solid in there.

All I really know, is my car needs more low.

I think it sits lower than what you think, but I dunno. I was tucking 245/40s on the old wheels, and I am in the rear and barely in the front with 255/35s.

I'll measure fenderwells tomorrow.

Alright took some pics this morning and did some measuring. My suspension is not the same that is was, so I has to figure out if I need to jack the car and repreload it.

Front Fenders are just a hair under 25" and rears are a hair under 26". I was at 24.5" front and rear about 3 months after I installed the suspension.

Anyway, onto pics:

Vlaze: I have sprint springs which are a 2" drop, but seems being on jackstands for 2 months, I may need to preload the suspension again to get it to drop all the way. Tire size is 255/35. Camber is -3* front and -3.5* rear

I thought of 255/35, problem is my speedo is already a bit off and 35 will just make it worst. I'm sticking with 255/40. If you drop it more, you're likely gonna need a pull is my guess. Sure it looks fine now and you say no rub, jack one corner up and rest it on some blocks and see how close it comes if not already touching the fender underneath.
