No really recent updates, just got my 15x10s on the back with a 28x10.5 et drag. With the narrowed rear they sit perfect in the wheel well. I'm gonna hopefully roll it out this weekend n clean it up n take some quality pics. I close on my house next week so money will be slim so updates will be few n far between.

The fronts are 27s, I had 26s on it but they didn't fill the wheel well gap that I wanted too and the car sat too low with the 26s. So now I got my gap filled and th car isn't scraping the ground


Rob, I don't think there's too much money to be made, especially at a RSD or SCC. There all gonna think it runs 7s lol.

The rear is narrowed 2.5/side

Everyone else thanks for the compliments!

I've thought about going with 27's in the front for the very same reasons you just mentioned. The 26's just look a bit out of place with 28's out back.

Looking great! I cant remember if I said it or not, I like how you cut the middle of the grill out. I may do that on mine but i dont think it will look that sexy without an intercooler there.
