Well first lets start off with saying the car is dirty and I jumped the gun, gold old spring fever. As most of you already know I installed Eibach springs. Here are pics with the 18" AR Torq Thrust customs. 18x10 rear, 18x8 front. BFG Gforce T/A KDW-NT - 285/40 rear 255/45 front.
3 spoke spinners have not arrive yet so they will be on in a few weeks.

Ride was not bad with the Eibach springs when the factory rims and winter tires were on it. Now with a lower profile tire is is a bit rougher, however, I also think that is because these tires are really stiff since it is still below 0 degrees here. I have a feeling in the summer it will be a bit better. Handles really good now.

Mmmm, beefy! Looks great, wish I had the cash to do that. BTW, I know it's because of the snow but look at your side pic. Now look at the spoiler. First time I saw that I thought WTF???

lol drew. I just noticed that. Talk about tricking your eyes...... I wish I had cash after buying these. I have just enough money left to make the dog house a little bigger because looks like that is where I am going to be living for a while.

Just noticed that also. That white stripe makes the spoiler disapear! Nice job on your ride John. I am glad it is finally starting to warm up a little around here. Still colder than normal though. Come on Summer time!

I know. I have had the car since November and have yet to really enjoy it. I haven't even had a chance to wax it yet...and that is difficult for me because I am use to waxing my cars on a monthly basis.

Man, they reallydid turn out nice. Good job. Car is really looking fantastic. Made my mind up. Going with the 18 X 10's and 18 x 8's along with the springs. Figure the 7 inch backspacing for rear and 5 1/2 up front are working so that is what I will go with. Again, good job.

Oh, that's right. You did have the 7.25. That is good to know. I have kept putting that off till you got yours on. I was beginning to think canada's winter snow was never going to end (just like Ohio's). Again, great choice. 
I will be joining you in the doghouse shortly.
