I'm getting the same tires, 225/50/15. You might be able to score one of the battery kits if you act quickly. I think one of the guys in the group buy is AWOL so you might be able to take his place.

Yeh. I would but after the tires I cant right now. sucky. I read in a thread you talking those BFG's up. That kinda is what made me finally decide on them. I hope they are good. They have a tad better treadwear then my proxes which is good.

225's? What size wheel did you get? I have 17x7 but I went with 205/40/17's. They were $88 a tire on tirerack. I wasnt to sure what width I could fit on a 17x7 while being lowered. with 205/40's I scrub the plastic wheel well when wheel is completely turned.

wow. so I could easily fit 225/40's on a 17x7. that would just be a bit larger sidewall. we got a tad offtopic.

engine bay looks great. lol.

Yep and the same coilovers as you do. I checked and a 225/40 is almost the same diameter as the stock wheels.

Man, after the wheels, you're car will look 10 times better on the outside. Those caps make it look outdated. I have 17x7s with 215/40/17 tires and I think theres not enough tread. I'm about due for new ones and I will be going with either 225/40 or 215/45.
