Really if you read up on it and just play around and get used to it and see what works best for your car you'll be fine. Even if its not safc throwin the idle off you can still fine tune it when you get it all worked out.

Yeah WC, i paid 400 for 2 sportmaxes

Just kiddin, they shipped em in pairs. The other set arrived yesterday. This is the only good pic I have of them:

16x8" +-0As you can tell, I wish i could afford watanabe's but I like the offset of these and the price for a DD rim is what I'd be willing to spend.They look so much better in person I couldn't be happier. I've already found some tires to mount kekeke. I sold the old cavalier 17" rims for 250 yesterday so I will have them on the car by the end of the week if all goes well with tire shipping.

I can't find the digi cam, but I'll go look and take pics today since its FINALLY not raining!

Thanks for the update Doug! I have tires lined up. for original fitment I'm doing 195/50/16s all around. If I deem I can use 205's then I'll jump on em. I got semi cheap tires lined up. 2 nankings (spell?) and 2 federal 535s? The nankings are about half used but they'll be a nice set to throw on the rear for 60bux mounted and see if i can break traction or what have you. They'll also make for good track tires I guess come carlisle because I won't care about getting sloppy w/ em.

As they arrive and get mounted I will post pics. Wheels and tires and sexy lug nuts should all be on by saturday this weekend. Hopefully friday so I can roll up to the sonic meet w/ em.Yeah I still don't know where the digi cam is.

Small non pic update, greeneyes helped me put my 10" sub back in after I bought an amp from his friend @ cc for a nice bargain. I weel take pics soon I guess or maybe have doug do the honors if I can't find the camera lol.

Oh yes and I fixed the idle. It was the mini TB return blocker screw. Zilvia hooked me up seeing as they have more members w/ sr's and sh1t, it was suggested, and it worked perfectly I should get a vid of it running...

You may notice the hood is a bit discolored. I'm trying out new shades of gunmetal since the GM colors only came in a small can and they sux at smooth spray.

Poop phone pic update! Got the used tires mounted. Apparently they're nice tires. We will see about Nankangs. paid 60 mounted for the pair .

I love the stretch you know u do too .This is exactly how I wanted it. Just so u can look down the sidewall and see the lip! Ballin!

I have a bit of fitment work to do.

Old school rivet on fender flares comes to mind... but fender puller/ coils I'm also considering. It's a tough fit atm w/ stock camber, prokit/agx's and no coils .

Probably going w/ the flares because it would keep w/ the theme. I never thought I'd get to run em I didn't think 15mm would be crazy difference lol!

I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of these rims on nico in the future. +1 first?

Plans for the centercaps, I don't like em chrome. I'm repainting them gloss black to make the red lugs POP. It will still say xxr w/ the sportmax symbol w/e in the offset paint which will be nice.

What does nico think? I'm diggin the wider stance. +1 for grip driving which is what i'm going for.

things to think about: color of the flares, black or body colored? Me n greeneyes are leaning toward black atm.

Mudflap valances, black or body colored? thanks in advance.

Nice, Tom! That stretch looks awesome! But yes, black fender flares and gray mudflaps. But, please, please don't go too crazy on the flares.

Find anyone to work for you saturday? We need to cruise with all the others!

Oh yeah doug I look forward to making the subaru boys' penises shrink when they see a faster car then theirs on saturday. bwahaha fanbois. I don't think i'll be able to get someone to work for me tho so i'll be there till 3.

Black flare/grey flaps sounds like a plan guys.

Uh idaho, the car has eibach prokit and kyb agx adjustable struts. Came w/ the car when i bought it. Really the only thing worth the 1300 since the KA ran like crap until i rebuilt it, but with the wiring problems it had, no wonder it ran like poo.

but yes, my car is so lightweight (weight savings whore) that it sits even higher than eibach designed i guess. It usually looks pretty low, maybe it was cuz the ebrake was on when it was let down off the jack and it didnt settle as much. The flares will help w/ that type of fitment too. I don't want to go too low man, I already scrape the exhaust on stuff and I've chipped paint a quarter size out of my lip from curbs around here.
