Nice! What size tire did you get? Did you need spacers?

Thanks for the complements. The tires are 215 45 18 Kumho spt uhp's. Didn't need spacers they fit perfectly. Since the offset is 35 they give the car a wider stance, which I like.

Those look awesome man! Was planning to do the same setup on my ES eventually. You definitely confirmed how good that I imagined them looking. Can't wait to see the car with a drop.

Wow I'm pleasantly surprised I thought you would need spacers like I did. How wide are they?

Only 7", which is why I went for 215 45 18 tires. I wish they were wider but overall I'm very happy with the outcome.

Yea when I went to 9 1/2 I noticed a huge difference in handling but in retrospect I would have went with a 7 or 8 like you did and skip the fitting headaches.

Question
Wow! How'd you go from "Check out m'ride!" and fixin' her up in July to "Sellin' it!" in October?

Not trying to be nosey, but you were well on your way and it's a long trip from there to deciding to be done with it.
