Default Pics - New Wheels, Tires, and Eibach Pro Lowering Springs

Alright, finally got it all on. I just added new wheels, tires, and Eibach Pro lowering springs. Looks good to me. Let me know what you think!

The lower stance looks better I think, and it handles awesome around corners now.

The tires are Pirelli P6 All Seasons, 255/45/18s all the way around.

The wheels are a staggered setup: 18x9.5 in the rear, and 18x8 in the front.











Rear Wheel (Deeper Lip):


Front Wheel (Normal Lip):

Thanks! That means a lot really! I have taken some risks appearance wise but I think it's all paid off

I completely agree. This thing's definitely not like the rest I see around here. It's been a lot of fun with all of the mods!

Since you used the same size tire on all the wheels - why even get wider ones in the back? Aesthetics?

I was under the impression that a "staggered" setup is when the rear WHEELS are wider than the front ones, which is the setup I have now. At least on several other forums, this is the impression that's out there as far as the term "staggered" goes.

Yep, I wanted a wider look in the back, so I went with a wider wheel in the back. The rear wheels look different as well as being wider. I think it's a cool look.
