looking good as always Gerard.

Thanks. The BBS CH-R in 19" is still not available. I checked Tire Rack a while back and they show them not being available until May. I was really-really interested in this wheel given the rears are 10.5" and have an offset of +25 like the HRE I had on the car. I may just keep the OEM 19" for now. Focusing on some other plans for the car.

what are you thinking bright yellow paint?? color change seems to be a trend around here

No. All my mods will come in the way of more power.

Although at some point I'd like to change the paint of the car to a satin version like this:

What size spacers are you running on the OEM 19's?

M3Dom · Tue, Mar-30-2010, 06:42:48 PM

I'm running ESC Tuning's spacers and matching bolts: 15mm (front) and 5mm (rear). I can go more but I don't want to rub and the same in the front going full lock. At 12" squared ride height this is pretty much it unless you want issues referenced.

It's just right, although those who go "flush" would go more, but they would rub at this height.

Looks good! Nice and low

Thanks David.

Regarding the size, positioning and extension of tips, here's some perspective from the OEM tips to the SS tips.

This picture is with a very slight angle and you can see it doesn't extend beyond the bumper, not even close.

They do bug out though - LOL I measured about a 1/2" cut would be right, but I can still dig it.

OEM tips look really small compared to the SS tips.

Lined up hole to rivet

Inside tips and staggered up and out.

Your car looks awesome, but the tips stick out (figuratively) imo.
