Thumbs up New pics of the ride with new wheels yet again

All night shots were taken by my next door neighbor. Thanks for the great shots!

SSR Professor SP1 black face


Specs
Front: 18x9 offset: +5 w/ 225/40/18 Falken FK451
Rear: 18x10.5 offset +5 w/ 245/40/18 Falken FK451







Check out that cool *** house!


The rear dish was measured to be 125mm/4.91 inchs! Almost 5 inchs! BLING! Too bad the step lip makes it look smaller though.



The front looks like crap compared to the rear.






The stock metal rear quarter pannels were pulled out about 1 inch plus about -2.5 degrees of camber to fit these monsters. Thanks to gushi-san from GushiAuto.

Something along the lines of a heat gun, hammer, steel bar and a baseball bat. I dunno. I wasn't at the shop to watch. Old school style.
