Thanks all =]

and the wheels are 18x9.5 +27 (22 w/ 5mm spacer front for clearance)
I love the way the rear sits as is, but the front needs less poke but I cannot help it as I need to clear the calipers I'm not a fan of poke but I'll have to settle

ride is good, although w/ the nankang ultra sport ns2 I wouldn't drive too aggressive. So far is quite comfortable though surprisingly with the thinner sidewall and still same tread width. I wonder if I can fit a 245 and not rub but given
I've counted only 3 instances of rub and I bet it was the driver side bumper tab not too sure yet.

I am also rolled all around, I think that is necessary

I'll be shooting it in a few hours and pictures possibly tonight.

Nice! What brand of spacers are you running? I assume you didn't need to use extended studs.

nice wheels. Always like them, but that sucks that fronts are sticking out 5mm more than rear. But you got to do what you got to do

Thanks for the compliment =] and I am running Ichiba, I'm not sure if brand matters for spacers since they are just metals ment to space a wheel out. Extended studs not necessary for 8mm and lower. 8mm is pushing it though imo and 5mm is the most i'd go due to the amount of lug turns necessary for safety purposes.

Thanks! I would like to see pics of your friends WRX too, I didn't know they came in that color.

I could use a little bit of sunk but gotta clear the caliper so what can I do -shrug-



















Finally the stress of first wheel set is over! At first thought these were too "track" looking but I guess I'm slowly getting use to it. 200 miles so far and no complaints from me. Butt dyno likes the dynamic weight loss they weigh ~19lbs each no tire. Argh and I want a bit of sunk to the front =S lol

Very rusty with camera =S I think I could do a lot better

How much did you pay to paint your rear Type-s lip? I have a white one sitting in my basement ready to go for when my ATLP quads arrive
Love the wheels - I've been running GTC01's for 3 years now

Thanks mang =] and yea, I hate sagging if it is something that can be reverted while it may be annoyingly so.. >=[
I need to get it re-sprayed so I have to take it off anyway and I'll re-drill the zipclip spot. I think I have it drilled too low and also not running the metal brackets.
Would I need new tape or has anyone ran the rear lip with no tape and it sat flush. Thanks in advance

I just bought the paint and paid my cousin a pack of cigarettes beer or something because he painted it.
You'll definitely like the quad look and atlp

Thanks for the T =]

Haha I became fond of the dual valve stems
I think their purpose is either for nitrogen and purge the other stem of air I believe.

Thank you Clean_CL-S =] I don't think they're available in 19. 18 largest diameter they make and they can get to 10.5 width

I could be wrong but size chart says only 17 and 18 but I've seen smaller sizes not on the chart
