I was thinking the same thing. If you can afford baller *** rims, why not buy something like Dunlop Z1's as well?

wtf is it just me or everyday the 18" rims looks like tin cans on a Evo X. I'm starting to like a 19" fit on it.

whole setup looks great?

Did you have to roll the rear fenders for that offset?

Firstly.

I just want to say thanks for all of the nice comments. Makes me happy to know I'm not the only one who thinks my choice was good.

About the KUHMO KU36. This being my street driven car and my daily driver I needed something reasonable. I was offered a great price for new tyres and they perform great for my needs, as I don't road race, auto cross or drag. I have read reviews about them, and everyone said they were great affordable street tyre.

About the Eibach springs. I love them. The car is noticeably lower, especially in the front. I need to take it slower on sloped driveways, but otherwise the clearance isn't that bad. The ride feels improved with less body roll and greater feedback. As I got the new rim's and springs done at the same time it's hard to know what effect they had on the improved ride individually.

About the rear fenders. There is zero modifications required to fit this Tyre/rim/springs combination. I haven't touched anything else except installed the parts. There is no scrubbing except for lite touching of the inner wheel well plastic at complete steering lock.

There is also still lots of caliper/rotor clearance in case I get a big brake kit in the future.
