I flared out the quarter panels about 20mm to accomodate the agressive wheel offsets. The tires are 245 front and 275 rear. The rear tires tuck in pretty well with no rubbing at all. I should've gone with 265 rear to avoid such extreme (3 degrees) negative camber.

thanks. My next mod is HID conversion and interior lighting.

I run Tein Basics. imo they're great for nyc roads. Even with 18" they're still as comfortable as stock. Downside is that with this ride height my tires hit the fender lining on hard dips. My driver side lining actually got caught so hard it ripped apart and flew off on the highway. I'll need to relocated the harness now.

Engine is bone stock. I'm not planning to do any performance mods except BFI. My S13 is already turbo so I kinda want to keep my SC more "Civilized"

Really great transformation. Thats crazy that u managed Imma go with 19s GT-Vs some day - 8.5 front 10 rear. In regards to the 275 tires in the rear, can u avoid the negative camber if u chose a more conservative offset?

hey man! i love the car! i'm going to go with the same setup but probably in a different color.. are you going to keep the rear end (ie : taillights and wing) or are you going to keep it the way it is, i love it regardless.. did you paint the engine bay as well? and how long was the wait
