Sweet, but that side pics shows you're going to have to be VERY careful...no protection AT ALL from the tires. Maybe the back wheels are too wide??? How come no tire edge-guard protruding like the OEMs?

there is no tire edge, becuase the s-03's are not a rim-protector type tire. The re040's are rim protector wheels, that is why there is a lip on the tire past the wheel. Same tires as my friend's 350z and same effect. I purchased a set of non-rim protector tires (255) to put on a 8" wheel and it just made the tire taller instead of wider, because without the rim-protector; the tire stays even with the edge of the rim and then goes vertical.

Your car looks great!! A couple of questions:
Was there a change in performance with that much meat on the rears? (acceleration, etc..)
How did you go about lowering your car 2 inches?
Do you get noticeably more understeer?
Just curious because I am looking to add the exact same set up with Kinesis K19's with similar rubber.
Thanks for your feedback, looks freakin awesome!
