Damn. If I had a hookup like that on tires, I'd definately be getting 18's. I paid close to $600 for my 335/30/18 Nitto DR's I had on the back with my last set of DD C5's. That's why I got rid of them. Tires were about shot and I didn't want to spend $600 to replace them. lol. I'll probably get another set of machined face C5's and get retardedly expensive steamrollers again, just because I loved them so much. haha

Well I finally got some pics of mine today, weather was great and found this spot out in a new neighborhood by us.
I installed 2.5" ARP wheel studs on the rear and ran a 5/16" spacer to push them out flush with the quarter. I'm running the Toyo R888 315/30/18s out back and had to BFH the inner quarters a bit. I already had an adj panhar bar on the car that was centered. If not, I doubt they'd worked without a lot more effort. I love how they look though. I'd planned on running some hex head open end tuner lugs, but they didnt work out because the ARPs came out too far and I didn't have enough room in the lug to torque them. So, luckily I had a set of old chrome acorns (not sure on the brand) that fit without bottoming out. As far as suspension, my car has slp bilsteins with stock springs all around - 3/4 of a coil cut off the fronts, and the hose mod on the rear. It sits lower than most cars up front due to the turbo kit weight, and my rear springs are pretty old so they're probably a tad more saggy than most. For reference - the top of the front fender is at 26.5", rears are at 27.25" (about 1/4" higher than where the BMR springs put these cars). But, after seeing these pics, I may have to do something about it, it needs to come down about .25"-.5" I think to be money. Doesn't rub that I can tell and I haven't touched the quarter lips as is though (not rolled at all).

Dude, I had wondered for the longest time what my NBM T/A would look like on a chrome set of 18's & its beautiful, LOL. Too bad my paints crap & I"m changin colors with the repaint. Looks real good though man, definetly 100000X better than the machined 17's you had a while back.

Haha...I'd call the paint on this car a 5/5 paintjob...looks awesome at 5mph from 5ft away. Its by no means perfect, if I ever put a WS9 hood on the car like I'm planning, it'll get either a new or repainted nose, repainted sailpanel, and the entire car will be buffed.
Heres another shot of the car with the color corrected in this photo. I'm going to try and get out this weekend and get some more/better pics.
