so maybe just some colored lugs? would that help break things up too or should I keep it all black? Would it look good if I powdercoated them the same color as the calipers are going to be?

 

i think the lugs powedercoated the same color as the calipers would be a good idea, are you gonna do the rear calipers to match?

 

but in all seriousness..get your tires to shine...I waited so long to see some nice quality shots. No tire shine = disappointment in my book. Really....the tire shine will make your rims look HELLA cool. Common, I even busted out the "hella" word

 

Will do it for you domo! I will post pictures tonight, hopefully they will indeed look hella cool!

 

Maybe, the only problem is that I don't know where I would get a rebuild kit for that caliper. I would have to hope the seals are okay or use rattle can instead. I could definitely do the caliper bracket, but that might look funny if that's the only thing done.

 

true, ask a couple dealerships, or part stores.

 

Looking good man. I need my fenders rolled as well.

 

I think you gonna rub no matter what maybe unless you will run sum aggressive neg camber.. i rub on my 18s w/ 225s 35offset after fenders were rolled and i have the stiffest coilover made 4 the tc, i think you rub on the plastic fender part towards the back.. i've always thought 40 offset would be better if you dont want much rubbing.. looks good btw, just drive it easy and you will get used to it

 

i'd recommend either the same color as the calipers, the project kics neo ones(too pricey for that purpose imo) or black

 

That's the point, I don't want to drive it easy and when it actually has power, I don't want to actually hurt my acceleration lol. I don't rub too bad now with only me in it, just can't have anything else . I am suppose to get them rolled/pushed further and repainted as I had some paint peel/chip. So we will see how that goes. Maybe that will help cure the problem at hand, though I doubt it because of the offset/tire size.

Thanks for the complements and input everyone, now its time to get the BBK on there and get some more horses under the hood!

^^ negative camber on rear and less wider tire prolly just 235s might help, and if you could shave that plastic part of the rear bumper that goes in the fender.. for the fronts seems like removing the plastic liner is the only choice you have.. i understand you point though, getting these lightweights for your turbo tc and cant drive hard? i would just go with the stockies if thats the case

 

Front barely rubs, it is not an issue for me (also seems to be rubbing on the front bumper part in the wheel well). I already have the fender liner's pulled from the fronts and pulled the fenders out slightly.

We will see what happens with the rear, and maybe I can take my dremel and edge that rear portion more to get it to fit. We will see what happens! I want to stay at 255's all around, that way I can rotate my tires, and I am using these wheels to their full potential.

 

BUMP!

Here are some pictures after a much needed car was and tire gel! Looks way better now!









Better? I still need to get a better camera!

 

LOL I have been waiting all my life to see these pictures! haha but you need to take it on a better time of the day, or better lighting.

 

i like!
need better pics though lol

 

MUUUUUCH better.... its just missing something....

 

I think I know what you are talking about!

I also think a lip kit would help, but that is not a necessity right now.

 

murdered out, very sick and clean car....
if you want to break it up,
imo red lugz and red calps.. agin imo
sick car....

 

i think you know what im talking about also

 

What's the ETA on the retrofit?
