I am overall pleased with the look but since they were not custom ordered for the car they arent exactly flush to the fenders. I think im going to put a 15 mil spacer on the front and a 10 mil spacer on the rear.

The springs are set to arrive at the end of this month. I got the ESPELIR springs from a friend who works for the importer.

After that the car needs a kit, not sure how fast that will come but soon I hope.

Here is what i hope the car will come out with the springs that will get here at the end of the month.

STORM TROOPER!!! Nice PS Job, but listen.... help me understand what these spacers are for, plus what is your definition of "flush" I hear this a lot and I'm curious to what your definition of flush is. And, I hope it comes out just like the pic

I hung a string with weight at the bottom from the edge of the fender and then measures how far the furthest point out on the rim is from the string. This give you the correct size spacer to get the rim "flush". For my car and wheel set up it was 15mm in the rear and 20mm in the front. This will also depend on how your car is lowered and if the rim needs to "tuck" inside the fender. I am hoping to have no wheel gap and will be rolling my fenders if need be. I am going to wait to order the sapcers until I get the car lowered and then remeasure.

Funny that no one ever takes a picture of the wheels in use! I guess it's the obsession with static appearance over dynamic performance.

Hopefully they are the forged Rays so they are strong and not much heavier than stock.

Also you should throw some tint up on the bad boy, will make that white car and those chrome rims pop even more.

The rims are Lexion by Rays 201's. In Japan they are called Arthur Exchange. They are 20x8.5 +38 in the fronts and 20x9.5 +39 in the rear. The tires are toyo T1R's. They are 245/35/20 in the front and 275/35/20 in the rears.

I do plan on tinting the windows.

I can't really say the price I got the rims for because I got them from a friend who works for the importer.

i just ned to compare them with teins.

Hi Clutchkick,

what are the rates on teins?
Thanks,
Caug.

To get some near you call Kenny at GT Spec 631-586-3500. Tell him Brian at Mackin Sent You.

My suspension is a little stiffer than stock, not mushy at all. I love it. Even with my tires, i cant even squeeze my pinky finger ,

Muy bueno . I like it and after looking at that I've come to realize that you are after the full slammed look I think the painted lower trim would be well worth the time and $
