Couple pics of my 04 SSM

Finally got some pictures of my car. It's a 2004 SSM 6M/T Navi.
Dropped on Tein SS w/ 19x8.5 Axis Pentas. I definitely need to get the a-spec..

Nice pics.

Did you need to add spacers for the wheels to clear the BBK?

Awesome shots man! Your plans of getting the A-Spec kit would really set it off!

What kind of camera were you using for those shots btw?

I needed 10 mm spacers for the front. Hopefully i'll get some 15 mm spacers for the rear.

Did you partially blackout your headlights? or put a light tint on it? Looks great.

yea but I would go with hyper black. I think it looks better with the silver car. It gives it a little contrast with the different color.

Also how much are you lowered? Do you have any rubbing issues with the 10mm spacer in the front? (assuming you already had to roll the fenders)

good choice. With my stock rims i barely had a 1 finger gap, but when i put on the pentas only 1 finger can fit. Thats the only way of telling how it is cause i didnt do the install lol.. my fenders are not rolled btw.
You should check what offsets you get to see how thick you need the spacers

oh so do you rub with those on then? I would get a 35mm offset on the 19x8.5" all around and I knwo I will need spacers for the front, 10mm and everyone told me that I would probably need to roll the fenders with my drop.
maybe I get them next summer after I get a bike and come back from europe if I have any money left over haha

Glad to see those rims on....looks nice!! I'm getting the exact same wheels pretty soon on my 07 TL-S. What is the offset on the wheels and which brand spacers did you get? Also, where did you get the spacers installed? Sorry for all the Q's... :-) I see you are in the 310..same with me. Would have loved to see your car in person this weekend at the Irvine meet, but I'm going to be out of town. Looking forward to everyone's pics though.

My offset is +35 with project kic spacers w/ extended studs (10 mm) in the front. For the install.. you can take it anywhere. all you have to do is slab the spacers on and screw on the locks for it.

What 310 area are u in

To install the spacers all you need is a torque wrench. Make sure you torque them to 95 lbs. I have heard of them coming loose before and you do not want that to happen.

How you managed to find a used 6MT navi eludes me. Car looks awesome though, and the Aspec would really set it off definetely heading in the right direction!

Glad I finally got to see a TL with rims similar to the ones i'm getting. Looks sick man! What size are those? With 18's or 19's and 42 offset do you think i'll have issues with rubbing? I'm not dropped yet but I will be very shortly after I get these bad boys on. I'm getting hyperblack, so sexy.

his wheels are 19x8.5" offset +25 in the front (after needing a 10mm spacer) and +30 (with a 5mm spacer) and he is lowered and not rubbing. I think you should be good Burnricers
