Bronze & Teal (Spring update)...

Weather has been nice here, but not idea for car photos. Finally having an overcast day, so I drove up to the same spot as my last winter update for some new pics. Nothing interesting about this location except it's nice and quiet. Wheels are Work Emotion XD9's, 18x9+20 (F), 18x10+18 (R) wrapped in 215/40/18 Hankook Evo V12's.

Holy camber.

Looks good nonetheless, John.

The blue looks excellent.

It's only -4 on the rear, but looks like more.

At my ride height, the natural camber was almost at -3, so only had to dial in another degree. Probably could've kept it at -3. -4 made the rear look even lower than before.

Do you have rear BBKs or are those caliper covers?

Looking good as usual. I like how you used the same location as the early winter shots, similar, but these have a totally different feel, excellent work.

Looks good, not sure why you need to run that much camber though

Not sure if you saw my wheel specs, but it's a little aggressive haha. Natural camber is not an option.

Thanks for all the comments, guys.

Sorry, forgot to reply to you. As Austin just mentioned, yes, they're "Brembo" covers from ebay.

That looks very nice, I always wanted the work xd9 wheels but I never seen anyone on here with the specs I'm looking for. Got some questions, your fronts don't need spacers do fit the brembos right? I always wondered but I couldn't find a single TL with the 18x9 +20 spec on Azine before. Also, are your fenders rolled? How's the clearance with the 215 tire you have on the front?

I'd like to put in an Accuair setup in my car eventually. Don't think it'll happen this summer though.

Thanks! There's a ton of space between the spokes and the Brembos. No spacers needed. There's very little done to my front fenders. The little tab/bump where the fender meets the bumper has been trimmed off, but that's about it. The only time I rub is when I'm pulling in my driveway with the wheels turned hard to the left or right. It rubs on the inside of the top arch of the fender. The only way to avoid this would be to run an extra 1-2 degrees of negative camber, but at this point, I'm not worried about it, because the rubbing is very minimal.

Rubber against metal at 1mph doesn't bother me. Metal against metal at 80mph bothers me.

What did you do with the XM antenna? Did you fill in the hole or something? I can see an outline of it :P

by any chance do you know if the 18x9 +30 would clear brembos too? seeing as how the design is same but with less lip.
