Tanabe coilovers. 1.8 F/1.5 R. I am also running a 255/35 Dunlop Direzza Z1 tire which is very square and runs wider than your standard 255.

^^^I think you'd be okay. I understand you dont wanna drop coin on a new set of tires but the 245's will be uber stretched on these wheels.

Thank you. On a silver car I would go with the gunmetal. It'd be a great contrast with the silver. I origionally wanted to go with white but erredon the side of "I don't wanna to clean my wheels everyday". LOL!

245s are too small.

Those look great!!!

Post some more pics or the rear wheels after the alignment. I've been wanting these wheels, but Smokin Joe was really the only person I've seen with them.

yes, but they can be stretched to fit, 245 on a 9.5 is not a huuge stretch.

diiirk, dont get the wrong idea. It's nto so much the look, as far as I am concerned to each his own. Depending on the type of tire you have you may be able to get away with it. Mainly because different types of tires measure differently. An example would be the section width of a extreme performance summer tire and a high performance summer or all season tire. Obviously the extreme performance tire would have a wider section width and allowit to not be stretch as far. Take into consideration that the more you stretch a tire over these wheels the less protection you're gonna have on rough roads. Just my $.02! I hope it works out for you.

As soon as I get the alignment this coming week, I'll post pics. Thanks again for all the compliments guys. I am blown away that other people can appreciate my car.
