What size tire are you running in the rear? wheel with is measured from inside the bead, not from lip to lip. That wheel is more like 18x11...

I really like your rear fender pull. Was that straight pulled out, or did they have to cut and weld?

Looking real nice Lakusta, very clean.

Same with Laz! Nice fitment in the rear, personally I would drop a spacer in the front though.

Yup, those are 18x11s.

Also, 285/35 is almost a 26 inch overall diameter, which is over one inch taller than stock. That is going to change your effective final drive to something around 3.80 and definitely slow the car down.

I run 275/40-17 out back with my Fikses which have a 25.7 inch overall diameter and I moved to 4.3 gears because of it.

285/30 would have been a better choice..... smaller sidewall and a stock rolling diameter.

Those TE37's look very nice on your FD but that body kit needs some serious attention.

Nice Wheels Laz, the rear wheels look like they are 11" to me..

Let me know when you are ready to drop the 20b

Btw Laz, just measure the backspacing and you can easily calculate the offset

My 7 is not even close to being all show. I have an Ls1 motor swap. Then i turbo'd motor. Last time I checked there is nothing weak about that. I can smoke 99% of the cars in the streets of LA. I am pushing over 450hp to the wheels conservatively boosting 7 lbs. I run 10.9's quarter mile. and i am a noob at the track. I am sure a better driver would get better numbers. Is my car complete? no. but last time i checked 99% of the cars on this forum is still in the works. I should have upgraded brakes installed by summer. i appoligize for sounding negative about comment. I just hate it when people see carbon fiber they say "all show" without seeing my Ls1 swap and turbo.

You only making 450whp @ 7psi? is the LS1 block stock? you should be making more... I like your car but you need to work on the fitment of the body kit.

Big Brake is a must with big horse power cars.. i got stock brakes too but not for long :/ don't get all sensitive it's rx7club

if you are smoking 99% of the cars in LA with 450whp LA must have some very, very slow cars..

Don't race chassis dynos...the car seems like its making good power at 10.9

What was the mph? That is a better indication...less affected by new drivers.

Unless you're frequently making aggressive stops like on a road course why do you need a bbk again?

Thing about this is that you might pay $3K and not have to paint (Show paint and body might cost $5+K), but if you want to keep the carbon look and have a good fitment, its not possible.
