Default 18/15 Weld RTS Combo - Updated with Pics

I'll get some full car shots outside when the weather clears up in the next day or so!

18/15 weld RTS combo, rear has been dropped another 3/4" since these pics were taken. Rear narrowed 3" per side.

I personally thing the 18/15" setup looks absolutely terrific.

I think they look equally badass. 17" tires are cheaper

Did you have to shave your calipers for the 15x10 rear?

I personally did, but only on the passenger side. I have the 15x10 Race Star Dark Star setup. I only had to grind off a very little bit to get it to clear.

With weld RTS medium pad wheel, there is no need to shave for clearance. They are direct bolt on

What size tires are you running in the fronts?

Man that looks great that's what I want to do. If you don't mind answering a question or two where did you get the rear narrowed and how much did it cost? Did you need any extra parts or things done to make it fit under the car it get the brakes to fit?

MWC - no extra cost to have it narrowed. They were the most reasonable price I found for a S60. I have full adjustable suspension on the car, not sure if that is required, but it made it SO much easier to install when you can lengthen or shorten any suspension piece as you go. Overall, it was very bolt-in and only had to modify the torque arm bracket and e-brake bracket to fit. Brakes just require the ls1 backing plates to be pressed on, after that it's standard procedure.

Thanks for the info! I already have a 12 bolt and wouldn't want to buy another rear so I don't know how I'd go about that. As for everything else it sounds pretty straight forward.
