Nice I like the new wheels. The old ones looked like they didn't fit worth a damn, pretty ridiculous looking

I like the old wheels better. Too much camber now imo. That much camber belongs on only smaller wheels or VIP I think. But as long as you're happy!

ya, i took away like 1* of camber in the rear since those pictures. however, i do want a 10-15mm spacer in the front so i can max out the camber plates and still be flush.

IMO your old wheels only looked good from the front or the side, the rear it looks rediculous with that stance.

The new wheels look great, alot better fitment and what appears to be a healthier stance for the car.

have fun with em!

15s are sold.

even if they didnt fit properly, it was fun running -5* of camber and being half an inch off the ground for a bit.

New wheels look alot better. I thought the old wheels looked silly with the camber. Going to do any aero?

man, i would love some aero, but i think i would be heading to the ricer side if i did that. sure, my car has some suspensions upgrades, but not many.

plus my engine is stock... and leaking. need to replace the crank seal, and my steering rack is shot.

im also gonna be rigging up some big a** front z33 brakes as my next upgrade.

anyone know if 17s will clear z33 brembos?

I'm enjoying watching your progress. Keep up the good work. Have you checked the fitment thread about those brakes? It might have your answer.
