Well I received my varrstoen TE reps about two weeks ago and got the tires mounted that night and tried to put them on. I had already done a fender roll and cut my front tab off on the fender so I thought I would be good, little did I know this was going to be a very long and tedious project. Long story short had to raise my car up about 3/4" all around and play with camber til it was right and finally this is the end result. specs on wheels are 18x9.5 +12 all the way around on Nitto NT555 225/40/18 tires.







Objects in mirror poke more than they appear....


Comments welcome and I know the stanced look isnt for everyone but I think its tasteful. I would like to go about 1/4" lower but I love how this rides so far so I'm not sure...opinions?

I love it. And I would definitely go a tad bit lower.

Neeed moar low and camber.
Edit : Do you adjust the camber yourself? I want to adjust mine to get a little closer to spec since the offset on my new wheels are not that aggressive.

Are you using spacers?

They really poke out, look good though!

hows the ride with the 225 tires?

Love the look of the spoiler-less trunk with the quads. Just drop it down a bit more and that thing will be money.

Ya my thoughts too
yes I adjusted myself but took it to get it aligned after. Any camber you change will affect toe and caster.

No spacers. The poke is the low low offset of +12

Ride is not too bad at all good tires though

Ya I'm actually putting a slimmer lip spoiler but I do like it without kind of too.

Your car looks awesome a little lower and it will be perfect.

9.5" and +12...yeah that'll poke alright. Nice.

Nice, was curious how TEs (or TE style) in 18" would look compared to most people that run 19".

not feeling all that poke up front. Camber that in, more low, make it fit properly.

Silver_Surfer

Not bad but too much poke for my taste.

I'm going to go lower in the front but no camber kit up front yet. I'm out of money

RU_JELLY

iTrader: (1)

do you guys think if i go about a quarter inch lower in the front I will need to get aligned again right away?

^ Any changes to the suspension will require an alignment. I think you could get a way for a few weeks but try to get it aligned ASAP.

Eddie&T-ella

Justin! lower that fucking thing, if azine say u can then you can!, im here for you man. lol. You can dooooowit!(Waterboy)

Damn +12. Clean ride

I really want to like it, I love the wheels. But something looks off. Idk if its the ride height, or wheel size...idk. Either way, needs a lot more low to pull that off.

A little lower would be dead on. So did the fender shaving solve the problem? My front passenger keeps rubbing as well and its because the end of it.

SSMTL04

rims look very nice!

thx for the support in these hard times Eddie

I completely agree. I will be the first to admit I am new to the stance scene. I've always ran non aggressive sunk in wheels on all my cars and I'm still learning. I do not want it slammed to the ground though, I would like it dropped about a half inch up front with more camber and a quarter inch in rear. I am considering air ride next year this time.

Ya that for sure helps, how much I'm not sure. I will be lowering the front a bit more so that should give me an idea.

Just keep playing with the height man. It took me about two weeks of messing with the height everyday until I got it perfect on my ride

Looks AWESOME

Looks good.. Get a camber kit up front and you'll be able to go lower

phatrick

Think I got an idea for my next custom license plate :P

Nice job on the varrstoens, assuming you talked to navith cause he said I'd need a +12 to clear the brembos.

Nice wheels, man....

Dremel the crap out of your tabs lower it and add camber (I recommend the skunk 2 camber arms for front) easy peezy!

sleeper24

WOWZER!! That's a new look for the NBP TL and definitely loving it.

No I just did my own research and knew +12 would be my #.

Thanks

Ya I would like to get the skunk two that are adj to -3 but 300$ blah.
Thx I don't think too many people have setups like this, that's why I went with this size/color combo

I have the same set up, and bought the same tires based on your recommendation. Almost went with the falken ziex until i heard the thread life is shit. The nitto's had a way better review.
