They do make it look mean. I still like the Rebals you have also. That would be hard to decide on what wheel to drive on what day!

fronts are 15x3
rear are 15x10 and i think 7ish backspacing
tires are 28x10.5x15
If i cant get them to not rub bumper/ground effect using the adj. LCAs , I will go to a shorter slick but i think i can make it not rub

Thanks for the compliments!!!!! I have considered getting another pair for the rear and put regular street tires on them for a daily driver but my car is heavy and i worry they will get damaged using them everyday

15x3 and 15 x10...dunno the offset on the back but 7ish
stock springs with hals on the front so you can adjust ride height...stock springs on back
28x10.5x15 tires really fill up the wheel wells

thanks!!

Its lowered on the front with the adjustment of the hals. Also, as long as you use a 5/16" in. spacer you don't have to grind on the front, but the back is a different story that i'm not sure on how much you grind.

24" fronts look good. I was running the 26 or 27" but they fill up the front, always scared they'd smack on the way down, but they didnt.. I might look for some 25" for the Bogarts that are on the way since the 24" look so nice. BTW, I used to run ProStars daily for a while, not as heavy as your car, but the roads here suck. Only issue was one time I hit a very nasty pothole and it felt like the wheel went out of round. After dismount, remount, the vibes were gone.
