I'm curious how about the the motor swap and turbo install status ? You've deservedly got a solid fan base for the look of your car.

Love the direction your going I also I wanted to do 18x10.5 up front I like the deep dish look if you don't mind what size tire did you end up going with and what size spacer are you using? Any Advice would help thanks

You my friend, have one gorgous car! I'm sure you knew that though.

So I couldn't previously mount the wheels because they didn't fit before. After my accident I had replaced everything in the suspension yet I still had excessive wheel setback on the right front. I was puzzled. All of the frame measurements were within spec. Well recently I decided to put poly motor mounts in the car so I dropped the crossmember and compared measurements to a spare one I had at the shop. It turned out that the crossmember had especially taco' din on itself a couple mm and the right rear A-arm mount had been pushed in slightly. Which led to the wheel being offset towards the firewall by 20mm. Now that the new one is in everything lines up like it should.

Nex on the list to make the car more drivable at this height is to get some drop spindles so I can gain some strut travel, A-arm to crossmember clearance and help bring my roll center back to a more acceptable level.





I was pleasantly surprised that I had no contact anywhere in the wheel well at full lock.

This should show the fitment pretty well. The wheels are XXR 526 18x10.5 +20 with a 1.25" adapter which brings the final offset to about -12 tires are 245/35/18









This is the rear. Same size wheel with a 3/8" spacer bringing the offset to +11. Tires are 275/40/18.

Car looks killer man! I have almost the same set up on mine but looking to get some different wheels. Currently have c5 wagon wheels with 275/35/18 in the back and 245/40/17 up front. I love the fitment of your wheels but do not think I want to go that extreme with the stretch of the tire. How does it handle compared to your older set ups? I am considering c5 vette wheels 18/19 or a set of 17" BMW wheels and run a bigger tire. But your car looks awesome

Front tires have too much stretch for my liking but I'm sure that's more for function over form at this point. Still a damn beautiful car man! Love it.

I'm loving those wheels. I almost bit on them instead of going for the irocs.

Nice clean car but the im not liking how the tires are seated on the wheel lip. Just looks kind of japanese to me. Just my opinion.

I agree with Bottled. Stretching tires = leaving the realm of performance and dipping into the "just cuz it looks cool" (to some, not me). Frankly it goes the other way, hurting performance. Tire was never designed to barely sit on the rim.

Might work OK, but was not intended to be used that way, but hey its your car so more power to you if you like it.

I just don't like people that do CRAZY unsafe stuff, regardless of it being their car, my family and friends are on the road to and I don't want them wrapped up in a accident caused by something looking "cool".

Rant over... Sorry about that.
