That was a stab in the dark after looking over the whole picture several times and it probably helped that I've been looking at SO MANY front lips recently that I knew I didn't recognize what kind it was LOL...

Nice ride BTW!

+1 . I have the same wheels and had to do the same thing to mine! They are siiick wheels! Check inside the wheel and see if yours has a trail of little metal squares like glued onto the rims? I think rota did that because they look identical to the advan rs's.. they are sick wheels non the less.. I love them.

and to the guy that wants to run these with s-techs.. you better be fender rolling.. I'm about to drop mine on tanabe gf 210s and it is barely going to make it (if it does) without rolling the fenders.

I got a buddy with the same rims, WITH SPACERS... Did not have to shave calipers. He's is on Tein-S, no fender rolls... I have the setup as well just have to settle with 235/40/18 tires instead of something like 255's...

Yes they are sick rims...

I was scared at first! As soon as I saw his setup I was happy... I'm just going to have to spend some money on some coilovers!

I wouldn't run a 235 tire Boricua...the wheel is too wide to be stretching a tire that small over it. I was about to run 255's but I'm glad I went with the 245. Looks good and covers the wheel sufficiently. You shouldn't have much of a problem when you decide on suspension either.

Oh, and these BF Goodrich's run FAT! These 245's look as wide if not wider than my old 255's!


And BoostedxEvo...those little metal squares are probably your wheel weights to keep the wheel balanced.

love the wheels and the home depot lip

Like the OP said his car his money, every other person on this forum loves to bash DIY things. Not every1 cares for CF lips that are overpriced IMO.

Car looks great
