Few more upgrades done:
J-Pipe installed
ATLP exhaust installed
Lowered the car a bit more
12" sub and amp installed
Still to come:
- modify the ATLP exhaust it does not line up equally in exhaust cutouts on a 2012+
- possibly install a resonator, the exhaust sounds unbelievably good but it is on a loud side.
-CT Ice box air intake, when/if they become available
-Throttle body spacer. Already have it just want to do air box and the spacer at same time
-Light weight pulley
- if budget permits upgrade rest of speakers and install amps.
Some pics after a wash and wax with the new exhaust:
This is the one showing how the tips are not equally spaced in the cutout. One side has maybe a 1/4" the other well over 1.5"

Finally go the resonators installed, and got the tips fixed up. Got them spaced more apart, lowered just a tad, and sticking out a bit more.
Looks so much better, and no more burning paint on the bumper:

Nice freakin' car. I want an exhaust system so bad but I want wheels first.

Nice mods.

Haven't seen the vossens with a +45 offset. Generally they are +42 in our fitment. 255 30 would have also fit if next time you want a lighter stretch.
You should get the Matte Graphite center caps and darker lugs.

User Error, reason for 245 wide is because I wanted to keep the proper ratio between the tires for the all wheel drive.
Having said that I could have gone 255 all around, my mistake it was a hectic decision making. I know you guys know your stuff very well but I am not too sure if I can fit 275 in the back(I would love to fit that size). I already have rolled fenders and I can barely fit my fingers between the tires and the fender. If I am not mistaken the difference between 245 and 275 is 3cm. I do not have 3 cm between the fender and the tire.
You have 285' on TL? When they put on the 285's on my rims they were sticking out quite a bit, guess estimate almost an one inch on the back.
I definitely don't have 0 camber, not sure what the amount is but it is noticeable.
I am suspecting that maybe the offset is not really +45 but higher offset therefore the rims sticks out more.
It would be sick to fit 275 or even a 285 in the back.

Check out my build thread post 217 on the last page shows the rear tires pretty well... you can see the mild stretch on the 285/25 in the rear...

Its been a while but finally got some more upgrades done:
- CT Ice box air intake, very nice fit.
-Throttle body spacer.
- Sprint Booster (hate to admit but it kicks ass)
- got my wheel faces re-painted and curb rash fixed. Can't wait to put them on once it gets warmer.
Already have my light weight pulley but can't find a shop that will install it
Also want to get the HFPC's.
And the big one if the arguing about this Apexi Neo stops and if we get some concrete info I would definitely put one in. Even to tweak things a bit it might be worth it.
