Default Just for fun?? New car, crappy pics.

Just thought I'd share:

I just finished putting the coilovers and wheels on, rolling the fenders, and playing with the alignment. I am really tired and don't have the patience to try and take decent pics (not that i can anyways).

Suspension:

HKS Hipermax (Thanks to EPIK for the coilovers)

Anyways, I tried out the wheels from my 240 to get an idea of what I can run on this car.

Here are the specs: (for like the millionth time, since they are eventually on every car i own..lol)

18x9 +13 225/40
18x10 +7 245/40

Fender mods:
Front: None.
Rear: Rolled lip completely flat, then pulled about 3-5mm (nothing noticable...at all)

I'll have much higher quality pics after this weekend.

Eibach makes a set of bolts that gives an extra .75" of adjustment. I bought them thinking my Intrax springs would put me out of spec. I was able to max out the stock bolts and stay in spec.

Camber is necessary to fit those wheels, if I ran less camber they would rub like crazy in the rear.

Yeah I guess a 7 offset will do that.

I have no idea. But I can tell you that I've only seen them on touring models.
