I can't wait for this turbo kit. today as I was leaving school for the day I decided to have some fun on the highway and boy do I love the power that supercharger tacks on. I can't even imagine how well my car would take off once I get that kit on there. ahhhh i don't want to wait!!!!!

so one of my buds apparently is awesome at making custom fiberglass sub boxes. so this summer, or spring depending on when he gets back, we are going to outfit my entire trunk. two 10s in each rear side of the trunk, with one 10 opposite the others, all mounted free air style with amp racks, 2 amps most likely. gonna stick to high grade alpines, and alpine amps too. as soon as this project is done I will definitely put up some pix.

NICE rims!
uhh255 wide...and you want to lower it??...thats not very good...u better dont take anyone on back seat then lol...or do not but anythign heavy into trunk...even my 245 rubed sometimes on bad rods when had 4 people in car.
hope your air suspentions work on rear.
better paint the calibers silver whit some engine or calibre paint what can stand that heat.


and btw whats the offset on those rims?

yes i understand...but sideways...when you drive on bad rods then the suspention lets the wheel go in the fender. when they are to wide they will hit against fender. when this happens it may damage the tires sides and fender tho. mines where 18'' 245/40

Yeah, 30mm is a bit when you're toying with factory clearances. I thought you were talking about tallness.

It depends on the offset of the wheel. I have 255-35-20 tires and the car is lowered. I have no issues with tire rub...

I actually do not know the offset......I know pathetic. they were only listed as compatible under wheelsnext.com and I got em! i think I might have fixed the prob though, I removed the rear wheel spacers, but still have the front spacers on. I noticed it doesn't really rub anymore (only been driven for a day without the rear spacers) but im lookin at getting monroe max airs for the rear shox so that will help out too. just very cautious about putting in my lowering springs.

Looks good, Mike....
The rotors center might look better painted silver where the pads
don't contact and calipers, silver or a different color if you like.
Those wheels are cool but expose a lot of rusty rotors and calipers? scratch
