i hate the black face, but i don't have money to PC them white right now. I agree, it makes them look small. I also hate the spoiler lol.

As for the ride height, i need to go lower. Im on the last thread all the way around though... So i gotta figure it out.

205/40 on the 9.5 and 215/45 on the 10.5. The side walls look big, but they really aren't. It's good and bad though IMHO. I was worried about TOO much stretch. it seems just right in person.

Im on racelands. Like i said, im on the last thread all the way around. I am going to spin the locking ring off the threads maybe this weekend and then see where i am. IDK why it looks so "high" lol in these pics. It really isn't

And if i was going to do a color that wasn't white, it would prolly be some sort of silver. I just don't like black wheels lol.

Might be the angle of the pic. Do you have any detailed shots of the 205/40 on the 9.5?

Def looks like stechs. You're hardly even tucking tire, you SHOULD be with 17's, especially with all that poke. Do you have perches removed? To get low with them you have to take out the extra lock perch and screw them all the way to rest on the end link mount. Ask Jeremy He knows whats up.
Your sidewall really is huge. a 45 series is huge no matter the width of the tire. I'd bet (my school computers wont let me go to willtheyfit.com else I'd KNOW) that a 225/40 or 245/35 would give you a smaller diameter too, to get lower.
Rear lips look good, fronts look really funky to me.
A lip kit would work wonders too as well as hotchkiss rear camber arms.

Edit: here's what a 245/35 would get you

You will have to take the coilovers completely off to take the perches off, its a _____. You can also take the topmost perch, by the strut tower, off to go lower. Sam Hussein did that.

kyle, trsut me bro. perches removed works wonders. just remove the lower locking ring and have the top ring rest on the sway bar holder thing. i also cut about 1/3 of my bumpstops. and the very last secret was addressed in my page 19 of my build thread. and then fixxed on page 25. note, that was what i did for the fronts. the rears, i also removed the loer ring but i honestly didnt need to. the rears go a lot lower. i have one ring in the rears but i have about 4 threads left. and i left the bumpstops uncut

How much PSI should you be running to keep the bead from leaking? I'm considering a 205/40 setup rather than 215/35. Still slightly considering a 225/35 but it doesn't seem like much stretch - just less sidewall.

if you go lower irish that will look amazing!! and jasper with the 215/35's on my fronts it really made a huge difference in allowing you to go lower, the only thing is one of my tires kept leaking at the bead, it went from 42psi to 23 psi in just 2 days, turns out the tire had a bad bead and i got a new one which has been holding up fine. i think the 215/35's will be a better choice than 205/40.
