CT Car

So I've had this car for 2 years now and its finally sitting how I imagine how it should.

Current mods:
Miro 111s 19x9.5 wrapped in Toyo Proxies T1 Sports
Megan EZ Streets
Led & HID Conversion
Undisclosed Exhaust modifications






As it sits now


































Let me know what you guys think.
Will post more soon

Sweet! I have the same spec wheels, at least I know they will fit lol. What size tire did you go with? And how much fender work did you need?

Nvm just read your post in the Dropped/lowered/slammed thread... 235/35/19. Can't believe your front fenders are untouched though. I figured it'd be the other way around (rears untouched).


I went with 225/35 so I should have less of a problem fitting them I imagine.

Oh wow I totally screwed up on that wheel spec post.
19x9.5 +40 is the CORRECT spec
Front fenders are untouched and rears rolled
235/35/19 tire
Lunch break brain fart sorry guys, I was considering the +20 avant gardes but decided I didn't want that much poke in the front

That sounds about right. I had 9.5 +45 up front on my previous setup and it was very similar. 9.5 +20 would be a lot harder to deal with.

Sorry bro that was my bad.
+20 can be done though you would need to roll and pull all 4 corners I believe maybe concider a camber kit or air setup
There's a guy on here 09slammedtsx check his threads

Yeah it's definitely doable. It just needs a lot of work. I haven't touched the front fenders (really wanted to avoid doing so) and there's poke. First do a roll. If you don't care for a slight gap where the front bumper and front fenders line up, then by all means consider slowly pulling the fenders. As suggested front camber kit might be in order to dial in a bit more negative.

The trick is to clean up the gunk/residue left over from the adhesive that kept the emblems in place. Use goo gone (or goof off if you know what you're doing), IPA, and follow up with a polish and it should be fine
