    Just got my car off the jacks *relief* Now with the rims and tires on...It is close, that I may have to roll my rear fenders. But we will see...Here is some pics for those of you wanting to get 245/40/18 tires..Now remember my offset is 44mm not very aggressive...Enjoy!

    Not yet...it will be next Friday...I'll be getting my center caps this week

    From my measurements with Matt...I still have a full finger inbetween the caliper and the rim...so I should be good...

    very nice. I agree, let's see a full spread!;)

    Noticed you still have stock headlights, are you going to do anything with them? maybe black them out?

    sure, just crack them open the a hammer, take out reflectors, glue back together ;)

    Here you go...someone just posted about this...this covers clearing the headlights. someone on here could probably do it for you and black them out too.

    Sorry...no need, we've tried already with Fong...

    Side note...No one is sitting in the back seat of my car...It will rub once there are passengers in the back seat...
