thanks again everyone. i really appreciate the comments. with 3.5 years in the 35 community, i had a good start but this forum really helped me learn up on the 37 in just a few weeks so i was able to get the car into what i wanted. and technically the modding only took 2 weeks not a month.

for the guys wanting more pics, ill be doing some real shoots over the next few weeks so there'll be more coming. sorry for the wait but it'll be worth it.

If not I may change my tires too. since I have these rims on my sedan! Can you post up closer pics of the tires and rims? Want to see how the tires sidewalls look, Would appreciate it bro!
no rubbing. tires are the perfect replacement. they are almost EXACTLY stock height, less than 1% difference.

By the way, those 2 screws that you had left over, they mount the bumper at the tip of the fender, towards the inside of your wheel well. ]
thanks for the info bro! couldnt have done the car without your help.

much love for the U! i grew up in miami so i was always a canes fan. i went to florida though so i have to rep my school. my sis is finishing up her mba at um so i even have a canes tshirt. as long as they dont play the gators, i always cheer for them.

i wanted to measure but forgot. it went from about 4 fingers in the front to 3/4 finger and 3 fingers in the rear to 1 if that helps. the tires are the same height but they fill out a little better in width i think. im getting an alignment thursday so we'll see. as long as i get my toe close to 0, i dont mind -1 or -2 camber. ill have to wait and see.

love the tires. need to break them in more though. only about 600 miles on them right now. they still break lose a little going straight even but its also cold. im sure some mileage and warmer weather will help them out. i went with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19. those are the perfect sizes for the stock wheels.

One more thing you GOTTA do. Paint the lower grills gloss black, it changes the look of the front completely.

I was thinking of painting all 3 lower grills. Did you paint the 2 side grills? Do you have picture showing the whole front?
