'MTAS' is running those- his car has the most awesome stance Ive seen to date, and these(along with 18x9/18x10 dd bullitts)are definitely on my wishlist- they really stuff the wheelwell, look awesome. if I can find a link I'll edit this

Yup! Very nostalgic appearance there.

Thanks guys, the combo of the springs, wide meats and tall sidewalls gave me the exact look I was going for - old school with a rake

Front 3/4 shot



Rear 3/4 shot

What are you running up front, 255/45 or 275/40 or something different? What’s the back spacing on the rear wheels? I’m looking for a 295/40-18 tires, the only ones I found so far are Falken Azenis Rt615. A 295/40 will keep the height very close to the stock, 295/45-18 is over an inch taller then stock 18s.

I have 255/45/18's up front on a 18X9 with +36mm offset
I have 295/45/18's on rear with a 18X10 with +45mm offset

Rear coilovers let me adjust the height to where ever I want.

I went with the taller tire in the rear because of my 4.10's, which works out to about a 3.90 rear gear ratio.

Great finish, no problems in the two months they've been on!

Sweet! Thanks Dave. I actually have a set of Sportlines sitting right beside me, but I'm not 100% sure I'm going to go with those. I might sell them and get some Pro's instead. I'm beginning to think the Sportlines might be a little much. I'm still contemplating though, I do want a significant drop. I'll let you know though.
