Cool. I'm a big fan of the color on WDP, but I'm having second thoughts about the dark bronze on my color (KPB). I guess it's a $$$ roll of the dice so we'll see. I should have the wheels back by the end of the week. Keep up the good work on your ride!

Your height is perfect. I'm so tired of seeing TL's dropped all the way like their any other car. It doesn't look good. Yours is spot on.

Cool 265 Test fit... rear

After meeting up with gotboost79 and attempting to roll the fenders, I was was finally able to throw the rear wheels on. I must say that I am very happy with the end result













And here is how she is currently sitting until I figure out what I want to do with the front. The fronts are rolled and the wheels fit nice, I just have to contend with the tab where the fender and bumper meet. I am thinking about following Sharkbreaths lead and using a dremel to cut the metal... Or I am going to cut a slot in the metal so that i can pull the corner of the fender in order to match what is rolled.

Thanks a lot... When everything is all said and done I will head down to you and take a look at your new set up. I can't wait to see the new A-Specs on your car

Talking Updated!!! 18x9.5 +30 with 265/35's on all corners

Here are some updated shots of the 265's mounted up front. I am about 90% done with my "Stance." I just have to fiddle with the suspension to make sure the fronts are even and the rears as well.





















While rolling and pulling the fenders I did get some cracking of the paint. Yes, I did heat up the paint with a heat gun, but everything came out pretty good for a first time roller In the front where the fender meets the bumper, I used a grinder to get rid of that pesky tab. I used some touch up paint to cover the bare metal but I am open to suggestions for a more long term fix. Maybe a new matte white pearl paint job

As far as the ride height, I rather run the 265's then slam the car. If I lower any corner, i will only do so 1/4 inch in order to even things out. When I get everything at the right height, I will go for an alignment and adjust the camber for a little added security. When all is said and done I will take some better shots

C&C welcome.

Oh man, that looks SO good

It might be the picture or me but I think your rear right is slightly lower than the rear left.

Yup... One of the things I have to dial in before the alignment
