I'm glad I came across your thread. Could you tell me what LED strips you used for your floor wells? Do you happen to have any pics of them? I appreciate the info, thanks!
Thank you! The LED strips I used for the floor wells are pretty much the same as these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Van-18-SMD-5050-LED-30cm-Red-Flexible-Light-Strip-String-12V-Waterproof-/400642930000?pt=US_Car_Lighting&hash=item5d482df550but I purchased from a different seller.

Jon awesome looking car man, I have a 2006 SSM with Aspec and I am looking at installing 19 x9 +32 TSW Nurburgring wheels in the spring. I noticed that your current set-up is as shown:
- 19" TSW Nurburgring in 5x112 / +45 offset
- Motorsport-Tech 5x114.3 to 5x112 20mm adapters
- 235/35/19 Continental DWS tires

I was wondering what is the width of your wheels? Since it seems like using the 19x9 wheels will require fender rolling and this is something I do not want to do along with having rubbing issues.

Hey thanks - just saw this (and your PM)! My rims are 19x8 and the specs you have listed above are correct. I had 18x8 Nurburgrings before with a +35 offset in 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Hope those numbers help a bit ...I may be able to get away with a 25mm adapter in the rear but could end up with a slight rub.

Jon, what are your thoughts on using a 19x9 +32 set-up front and rear? Do you think the fenders will need to be rolled and will there rubbing issues using 235/35/19 tires all around? I understand using a 235 tire on a 9" wheel is pushing it as far as wheel protection goes, but the specs on the tires (Pilot Super Sports) states that is can be used up to 9.5" wide wheel.
