No, the car isn't lowered yet, I'll be getting the Pro Kit springs very soon.

They are 18x8 in the front with 245/40-18, 18x9 in the rear with 275/35-18. The tires are Riken Raptors (made by michelin).











Other mods: Whistler mod Headlights, !front grill, muffinbuster emblems and rear bumper inserts, 35% tint side, 20% rear

Just keeping it simple.. car has 102k on it..

The rims look really good. They make the car look way higher. It will look amazing when you lower it!

thanks Do you think the Pro Kit might not be enough? should I consider the Sportlines? I could drop it a lot with the low offset and only 275's if needed. (I didn't really want a tire that dead hooked because I don't plan on upgrading the rear this year, and if I do, I'll go with a set of drag rims and tires..)

no you shouldn't consider the sportlines but you should consider springs other than the pro-kits.

car looks great though

I really like the wheels, but yeah, a lowering is definitely in order now! You look like you're ready to race the Baja 1000 in that thing!

You need to drop that car like a bad habit.
