do you have wider front fenders? looks like wheels don't stick out as much compared to my P45R 17x9+12

I'm not certain but I think I read somewhere that they do.

Idk man, I think I do.. I've noticed it ever since I put the kit on. It does look like they are and also the passenger side front fender is new so maybe thats why. And also my front bumper flares out quite a bit so maybe thats why too

I want kouki tails so bad! Hope I can find a hella good deal on them. I took my exhaust to a local Meineke car center and they welded a custom pipe so it would line up with the bumper and they extended it too. Now just need to fix where my back right tire is rubbing on the fender. There is body filler where I would either hammer or roll so I'm not sure how to go about fixing that.

That is weird. Oh well. The Rota center caps are ugly anyways... but the wheels are hot though! Good job, OP! :bigthumb:

Hey I'm surprised no one has asked yet... How much did the wheels cost and where'd you get them? If you don't mind me asking...

They were 759 shipped and I got them off nicoclub.com I think the company that had them is jspecdirect
They had 2 sets avaiable and I picked up a set. I don't think Rota sells these sizes in 4 lug

Believe you meant 5 lug there.

And hadn't seen them in White. Makes me want to get those in white on my coupe and put my sport bronze P45Rs on my Vert.

Thanks. That price isn't too bad. 18racing.com is only $9 cheaper. You got a pretty good deal...

Told you you'd be happier with some nice fitting wheels! And did you take the car to the exhaust shop and have them weld it out like that? Very happy you didn't get rid of the kit like that doucher told ya too!

Yeah thanks man. Yes I just took it there and told them I needed it extended and aligned to the right and they did it right there for like 75 bucks.

Hey guys bringing back this thread because my tires are taking a beating. My fronts are fine but my rear passenger tire is rubbing almost constantly when I make turns or hit little bumps.
The quarter panel on the rear right has body filler in it so I need some help on what to use to trim it. I heard a grinder would work and i kinda tried that but it didn't really help. Also heard an air saw would work? Can someone please school me on this. Wish I could roll my fenders but it will crack
