I think the wheel size was 18x9 +6 225/40and 18x10 +11 225/40, respectively. Granted, that is tuck in with mad camber, and super mild rear fender pull. Sexy as hell! You'd probaly want to adjust the offset, as seeing you have the overfenders. I'd run less camber, with a higher sidewall tire, and stretch the tire a bit. I don't know much about the limits of tires and offsets, but I know that looks super dirty on white s13's.

As for painting the hood... I'd say leave it white. I saw a vert the other day where the owner had painted just the apillars around the windshield black...that looked super good with the top up... I don't know about down though.

Above and beyond that, I vote for wingless too!

Okay, for the hood. It is a fiberglass hood, It came black when i bought it. I have had it on black for a while now, and I don't know? it looked fine. But the s13coupe pic looks really nice, and it has the same hood, and body kit, but all white. Now, i did a quick photoshop version in black. Let me know what you guys think. I'm going to paint it tomorow, so majority will win here. I like both so i can swing either way.

Okay here it is with a white hood, But black top.(because vert top is black).

and here it is with black hood and black top..

Im not too sure, but the black hood might just flow better because of the black top.

I like the just plain white.

The curb feelers make it look like a catfish IMO.

You mean the uncut zipties?

I think both of the options of the hood look really good.... the white is definitely cleaner, but I like the black more.

black hood FTW!

I like the way this looks, but if you do end up going this route, Might I recommend painting the A-pillar's and the top of the windshield black. IMO i'd flow better having it black from the windows up.
