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.

nice rear. I can't wait for nicer weather. I have yet to get a pciture of the car when it is clean...then again, it has never been clean yet.

 

John-

Looks fantastic!!!! How's the ride?

 

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.

 

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!!! Very, very NICE!!!!!!! But why is God doing this to us in Ontario? More again tomorrow. Crap!! (sadly, this is becoming my tag line).

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.

 

Beautiful!!!...you do have one great looking pony!

 

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.

 

FYI - The 18x10's have a 7.25" backspacing and just fit perfectly. The front 18x8's do have the 5.5" backspace.

 

John,

How much did that wheel/tire combo set you back? I am considering a similar upgrade when my 2005 GT comes in

By the way, looks phenomenal

 

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.

 

John, your car looks awesome. The wheel's are perfect. And the 285's on the back... sweet!

 

Great! Looks fantastic John! And she's cleaner than mine!

 

Man your car looks great!! Hope you get some good weather to enjoy it soon.

btw: your ct is perfect, thanks for your help!

 

Looks great!!!!!!! 18" wheels look perfect, and that style is exactly what this car calls for! :worship:

 

Well, at least the snow helps to insulate the dog house.
