Yes. The rear is now a 19x9.5 et30 with 255/35 tires. Fronts remained the same.

lol looking good swarlos. i might copy your rear set up...

you said you have to shave the rear bumper tabs, would a simple fender roll be able to avoid that?

thanks man.

Thanks Ed. I am actually already rolled. There is an annoying little tab that is actually on the rear bumper. The tab is poly urethane so it needs to be cut/shaved. Cant be rolled. I tried to find a pic of it. but i dont seem to have one. best way I can show it. =/

Daytime shots

Decided to take the camera out to do a shoot that wasnt at night or at dusk. Not sure what I want to do with the car next. I was thinking about

-importing a type s lip kit
-getting a roof spoiler (havent found one i like =/),
-CTE ice box,
-yellow fogs.
-Maybe new wheels later on down the road (something with lip and concavity).

Tein ss is great. Its more of a sports suspension than a racing suspension. So the ride is pretty soft compared to the stereotypical bone jarring coilover system. I'm set at full stiff all around and very happy with it. Feels very sporty.

To all FL members: Us FL members need to get something together soon, so we can do a shoot. I've been dying to try rolling shots with this camera. I know ssjoeboe and animalistik are in for a meet!

hey swarlo, whenever you have time, you think you can snap a close up pic of your rear tire/wheel combo? i remember you told me 255 was a slight stretch so i want to see how much its stretched compared to a 245

thanks buddy

Yellow fogs

Got my fogs on. Ended up just getting nokya yellow bulbs. Didnt want to deal with possibly running into flickering issues with HIDS.

Ed I'll take some pictures of the wheel/tire profiles on Saturday. Tried tonight but the lighting wasnt great. Sorry its been taking so long. Work has been rough.

Here you go ed. Not sure if this really shows much. But if you look closely, the front tires sit a bit more square than the rears. You can see that the front tire's rim guard sitting well over the rim lip. While in the rears, the rim guard kinda sits behind the rim lip. This was what I was referring to when i said slight stretch in the rear. I honestly dont really think this counts as stretch. 255/35 is a good and normal size for a 9.5 wheel. Good luck with the new wheels

Was thinking more along the lines of Central. But if there is a large enough south fl meet, Id be down. I'm originally from miami. I'm definitely going to formula drift in west palm.

Yeah. It was tough trying to get the color output. definitely satisfied with the look. I think 3000k HIDs would have been a little overwhelming for me. I feel like theyd just drown out the stock 4300k beam.

The HIDs are stock 4300k. I bought the nokya at a local shop. Just look for an h11 nokya yellow bulb. Good luck!

No problem dude. looking forward to seeing your new wheels.

The rears are all the way down. The fronts still have a few threads left. I stuck with a wheel/tire diameter as close as possible to stock. If you are looking for the tucked look, you will need to go with a tire with a larger side wall.
