Yeah that pic was taken right after I put the wheels on with the stock suspension, so it didnt fully settle yet. I have since installed hks hipermax rs coilovers.

i've always though aftermarket 18" looked smaller than stock, and so did some 19's...but once you lower it, almost anything 18 or 19 looks much better.

nice setup...wish i could swing $3k for wheels

What do you guys think of the wheels? Also, anyone that has put on wider wheels in the rear, do the wheels stick out of the fender? Mine stick out an inch or so now. I was hoping that the wheels would sit into the car more. I think the rear offset is +38.

pictures gone please repost!

Thanks for the compliments guys. No, there is no rubbing unless i hit a bump/dip at high speeds. This is on a very soft damper setting. If i put it on a stiffer damper setting there is no rubbing at all. Also the height is set to the stock coilover setting. I believe it is 1.6" drop in front and 1.3" drop in rear. Nothing too drastic.
