Default Ok guys... wheels were test fitted. Oh my... :)

Just got back from the shop. Truth be told, I was VERY worried about the rear tires rubbing on the fender. Worries were soon forgotten once this biatch was dropped from the jack. Good amount of room. Car is FILTHY and I just wanted to try the wheels on to assure myself that I wouldn't have to sell them because of final fitment issues. Plenty of brake clearance, a good 6-7mm up front and control arm clearance in the rear. The car will be dropped a bit more to fill in the fender gap but it is still early Feb. and winter in Jersey is not to mess with. Center caps have not arrived yet and the pictures were half assed with my mini tripod and horrible Wawa lighting.

Wheels:

Work Brombacher Mesh
18x8 et 30
18x9 et 35

Tires:

Toyo Proxes T1-R
225/40
245/35

Final Verdit = HIT! I love them.

Enjoy.

Might/might not take them off for the remainder of the winter, depends. Better pictures within the next couple of days. Tooodlo!

Front fenders were rolled, I don't like the look, it needs to come down a tad. Front and back.
