Default Prostars on the car! *pics

Put on the Prostars for the first time today and snapped a couple pics. I still need to remove front sway bar, put stock springs in the rear and some other things. I'm hoping the rains stays away Friday. I'll be headin out to Texas Motorplex.





Here's what she looks like in street trim.

15x3.5 i believe the bs are the standard 1 3/4. I've got spacers on the front. I dont know what size the spacers are b/c I bought the set used and they came w/ them.

Did you have to grind the front calipers at all with the spacers on there? Would spacers on the rear prevent grinding?

Car looks better with the Pro Stars on. Just awesome looking.

No grinding at all on the front. Put the spacers on, put the wheel on. Thats it!

I dont know about spacers in the back. I just read about everyone grinding them so i had it done.

Nice. I love TTII's.

Do you have or could you take a side shot that better displays them?

Thanks.

I think the prostars would look better if they were a little darker, personally.
