here are some pics of the wheels with just a point and shoot digital camera

and one just messin around with a yellow lip

The coilovers are just about as low as I can go in the front without hitting my cv boot, and the fenders are rolled. I need to get the rears rolled and pulled so I can lower it more, I have waaaaay too much rake right now.

nice shane did you still need the stickers for the trunk?

Your tires are not stretched enough

Love the new wheels Shane!

Steve, I know.

They are 225/45's, but they don't look as stretched as I thought they were going to look, and they have a little lip that acts as a rim guard thing so that adds to the not stretched look though. I like how they look actually...

EDIT: steve I forgot to tell you my friend works at a sticker place and gave me some free for my birthday haha. I do want a sticker from you though, I'm just thinkin up ideas. I'll let you know once I figure it out haha

Also, thanks predent!

i'm going to have to disagree on the stretched look.. 225 on a 9" wide wheel is pretty damn stretched if you ask me. sure lance has 215 but that's just stupid imho. i want 17x9's so i can run 255 or more

i think your car looks good but it's just not my cup o tea. my car is low enough to be a huge!!! pita around utah roads.

haha I know what youre sayin. Utah roads do suck. It's really not that bad though.. I've never had a big enough problem with it to raise it up, and I figure i'm on coils anyway so how soft can the ride get ya know. haha

I'm not entirely sure what's so cool about the stretched look...wouldn't a wider tire be cooler, thus increasing cornering grip? just saying...I don't see the point

shanemono4 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 10, 2009 7:40 pm

Yes it would. If I needed corner grip to handle my way to the grocery store, I would've dropped another 800 on new tires. But, since I just bought 225/45's for my old 17x7's about a month ago, I figured hey why not. And it looks good. Once I get the rest of my parts and start tracking I'll get real tires, like maybe some 255/40 NT01's, or 05's. Or just slicks.

I really like your car!!!! 2.5rs are sweet

shanemono4 · **Posted:** Tue Aug 11, 2009 1:30 am

Thanks man, I appreciate it! It's nice having something different than everyone else. I'm real happy with it, i'll be even more happy when I get my sway bars. haha it already handles so good with just the coils, I can't even imagine it with sways.
