Beautiful wheels. Really adds a nice contrast to the car and classic too!

Jason,

Are you still running the 17mm rear spacers with the 50mm offset rears?

Love the look. Better than the red wheels by far.

But the, I'm biased.

15mm H&R now! Very aggressive look... offset will look sick when lowered!

Yep, I wish they were as light at the AMT's though! I think these saved about 1lb on the front and maybe 5lb's on the rear..... oh well

jason,

car looks good. but i dont think the way you had it before looked bad either.

if i were you, i'd take a deep breath, calm down, and enjoy your car. if you have pasm, leave it alone. it works fabulous on our cars.

i cant see messing that up and spending 3k just so the car sits an inch lower.

besides, you may then need to corner balance the car and corner balancing doesnt care what your wheel gaps look so you might end up with a lop sided car in the end.

Hey Jason, if you're rocking a 15mm spacer in the rear, that means you have a final offset of +35, which is really low! I only had a 10mm spacer in the rear when I had it on my car, with a final offset of +40. I had my camber maxed out to -3.x and I was still rubbing. If/When you do lower your car, it will rub for sure, since you're running them 5mm more aggressive than I was.
