Hey Everyone,

Just thought I would post some pics of my car (haven't posted any yet).

Some details:
Steeda Lowering Springs
AZA Z8 18x8.5 Rims (35mm offset)
Nitto 555 255-45-18 tires

Let me know what you think.

Thanks
Rob

Thanks for the replies guys.

To answer some of the questions,

I like the Nitto 555's so far. No noticable increase in road noice and only a little more harsh then the stock tires. Grip has been excellent so far. Haven't had a chance to drive them in the rain yet though.

The rims costs me $225 each. (On sale from $275 at the time) from www.wheelmax.com

According to my measurements, the Steeda's dropped the car 1.1" front and back. Perfect for what I was looking for.

Hmm. I like that measurement in the front. It's a little less than the Pro-kit. Not enough in the rear though. I REALLY want to get rid of that "rake' the '05 has. Maybe Pro-kit in the back and Steeda in the front??

offset is perfect, only problem is that not many of companies make 8.5 inch wheels, if you add a 1/2 inch to the width of the wheel it might end up hanging out a little w/ a 9 inch wheel w/ 35 mm offset, but you definately hit the nail on the head w/ this offset.
good job.
