Quick Question:

I just bought some 5zigen Typhoons 17x7.5 / 17x8 (weaaaaak, I know) Anyways the front tires are 215/45 and the rears are 245/45. I wonder if this would look silly once I drop the car on coilovers, since there only seems to be about a 1inch gap in the rear and a 3 inch gap in the front. Also since the offsets of these rims are also weaksauce (38+ and 35+) I was planning running a 30mm spacer in the front and a 25 in the rear making the effective offset +8front, 10+ rear. I'm pretty sure this would fit with no problem or body modifications, I would just like a second opinion. Thanks for the help.

(p.s before i get flammed with "Sell the rims and buy REAL rims" yadda yadda I picked them up for $200 with 6 tires)

What exactly was the question? How would it look? Get everything installed first. Then it depends on how much you lower the car and how the alignment ends up afterwards. Ultimately if you like it keep it. You already know what everybody and their mother on here is going to say so just wait for it.

For the plugs go to what ever auto store and ask for interior clips. Its what most auto makers use to hold the interior plastic panels together. They look like giant plastic thumb tacks. I would post a picture but im on my phone.

pictures don't do the paint justice(or injustice?) and the top pic is older. it's super oxidized on top and the clearcoat is starting to peel.

and to 240sxcl50 ^^^^ it's the JDM kouki grill. I have an extra. pm if you're interested.

Thanx dude, I appreciate the compliment. I just need to get like 10-15mm wider tires front and back and it would sit a lot better.
