I think I was just unlucky and got a freak set of wheels that are a tiny bit out of spec. Either that or my stock callipers are mounted slightly different than most? No idea really. And thanks for the compliment. FWIW I much prefer the ride on the 225/45 Falkens compared to the stretched 215's I was previously rollin'. Noticeably better comfort and performance

I'll get some better shots soon. I'm likely going to throw in some height adjustable megan coilovers pretty soon which should allow me to even out that ugly front fender gap.
The big lip on the 16x9's is awesome, but I think it prevents you from running substantial rubber in the back without being super stretched or having significant fender mods. With the S52 under the hood (and possible gt35r in the future), I was looking for more width and sidewall for better traction and rim protection.
One of my center caps has already managed to wiggle it's way off the car and into a ditch somewhere :(
Oh yeah....I realize the giant DINAN can and DTM tips throw off the aesthetics at the back of the car. Currently working on a custom dual muffler set up that tucks out of the way or a possible Guten/Rogue system that is currently under development.

Here are some preliminary pics of 16x8 et 20 on 225/45/16 falken's all around.
I realize they're not great pics....but I hope you guys get the idea.
I will have to ad that I had to grind down my stock front callipers roughly 5mm for these to fit.
I also have to say that the older style center caps on the 16x9 et10 002's (see sig) that I just sold were much nicer, stronger and more secure than the plastic allen bolt style center caps that come with the new 002's. I'm guessing that's part of the reason these prices are so competitive....understandable. Overall, I'm happy with the look of the wheels for the price. I tend to prefer the classic flush/beefy tire look to the stretched/bulldog aesthetic. I'm assuming I should paint the exposed metal portions of my callipers to prevent rusting. Suggestions?
