Thanks for the compliments.

If you want to push the envelope, try some 7mm spacers in rear. I actually have a set you can borrow if you want to try it You'll need 52 mm wheel bolts, I also know for a fact that 60mm bolts fit both 7 and 15mm spacers.
I dont have a rear bar, I will look into the H&R, I hear good things about it, maybe a CF one

I am going to enjoy the car for a while right now, once I feel a little bored I might hit you up about those spacers, I used to run the 15mm on stock wheels so i have the 60mm studs too.

Its a very close fit, the offset has to be close to perfect, but it definately works.

I am running JIC coilovers, and I was the biggest pain in the a$$ adjusting my suspension, thank the guys at RPM for putting up with me.

Carbon Fiber TA Type 1 replica spoiler, I painted the bottom of it to match the body and left the top CF.

Would you mind sharing the cost (PM is fine) for the wheel/tire package and where you got it?

Again, great choice!

Thanks, I will send you a PM now.

Dean, I'm real glad you're happy about how everything came out on the car, it looks great. Those wheels fit perfect on your car and it looks like everyone's pretty impressed with the fitments.

If any of you are interested in putting together similar packages for your car just let me know and I will put the package together for you. We can do these large fitments with no rubbing issues at all for you. I know most people say it can't be done but, as you can see, it can be.

Feel free to PM me or give me a call.

Thanks-
-Craig

Steve, I am sure your wheels look awesome, there is just always wanting what you dont have. Now that I have the deep lip, I am looking for a flat face wheel to run during the winter.

Thanks, your car looks out of control, I would love to check that thing out too!

That rear spoiler looks awesome. Where did you find it? I have a carbon fiber interior and that would look great with it. Thanks in advance
