Hey Lokim - That's a fine looking Q you have there.

You've got the spoiler too.. I bet you're a proud owner.

I really like the wheels - nothing over the top -- looks right to me.. What type of wheels are you running?

Thanks OCS!

They are stock 17's from a 2007 Eclipse. They are wrapped in Riken Raptor 235/50R17 W-rated tires. I had to get custom lug nuts, as the Mitsubishi wheels are not taper-seat holes, and Mitsubishi's wheel stud thread pitch is different from Nissan's. Once I got the nuts, they went on like a dream, and the offset looks perfect to me.

I do want to drop the Q about 1-2" just so the wheelwells are filled out better. I was considering these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... MEWAX%3AIT

What are your thoughts?

All I can say is WOW! Since it shows adjustable, I wonder if those could be used to raise the height an inch?

Yours looks like it stands up nicely above the parking bumps. There are some speed dips (opposite of a speed bump) around here that cause mine to scrape under the front bumper.

I asked the seller, and they say they are adjustable from 0.5" to 4.0" of drop, they will not add height. I'm tempted to set them at 4" just to take the pictures! :dblthumb:
