Those cars look much better when you get a wheel and tire combo that actually fits in the arches.

yea, stock gap between fender and tire is 3.7". even with coilovers i could only obtain a 3.6"drop front and 3" upfront.

lowest springs give it only a 2.5" drop which kills stock shocks, and still
leaves it with a 1"+ gap. it fuckin sucks

the stock rim is 18x8 +45 (for gt) so ive been running 18x9.5 +38, but recently went down to 8.5 with a 25 offset to make sure i filled in the loss of the 1" and get some turning radius back lol.
