^Gorgeous.



How much of a spacer did you need? Also, do you need a spacer to fit your Rotiforms around the brembos?

thx! the linea corses needed a 15mm spacer up front. i pressed out the stock wheel studs and got the H&R setup.

the rotiforms were measured and specifically for the car with brembos, so there's no need for any spacer etc.

It will definitely be a stretch to get this to work out (pun intended).

Looks good though. My mind goes to this when I see that wheel and the RTR splitter, although these are HRE's

That rendering looks perfect, the execution wasn't to my liking.

That looks badass.

Why doesn't anyone use fender flares?

I would do fender flares if it wasn't my DD and if they were available for that matter

Looks great. Do they still stick out when car is on the ground? I would like to see some pictures. And some pictures of rear wheels as well.

The footprint sticks out about a half inch. It isn't bad. I'm probably going to end up with 255 on the front, which will put all the tread inside the wheelwell. It looks really meaty with the 275's in the front. I will try to get some better pictures here in the next day or two.

It was nothing with the right tools. Impact made quick work of it. It took me just over an hour to do it. I got them from American Muscle and did an installation guide to recover some of the cost. I'll post up a link once they put it online.

phil we need more pics asap!

also, is using an impact hammer okay for the hubs when swapping out the studs? hammering it out would make it quick work, but everyone says it's a big no-no

Here's a few quick ones.

I also went ahead and ordered the 16x8's for the back, those should be here by Wednesday. I didn't like the $50 in shipping an hour to my house so I just ran up to Summit yesterday and picked up two of these:

As far as using an impact hammer to remove them, that would be better, however I don't have one. I asked my Service Manager here how to take them out and he said a hammer would be fine. I don't forsee myself using them again.

Looks sweet.:clap: I picked up the same set except my fronts are 8.5s. Contemplating going with a square setup after seeing yours.
