I spent the weekend compounding and polishing some really tired paint, and am pretty happy with about 70% correction. I'll eventually need a respray but was a great learning experience. I used a bunch of chemical guys products, which was a lot of fun.

Hard to believe this car is not 24 years old, what a timeless design. 130k miles on her!

Zhe Love it fitment looks great, very aggressive. Looks like you had to delete the front fender liners, any rubbing issues? Just curious.

Think thats enough to run 285/30/18 squared on stock body?
Trying hard to decide between these and the ccw ds500

That is some pretty good FD fitment for a Japanese wheel.

Yes, stock body meaning no over fenders.

Stock body with rolled front fenders and -2 deg camber or more up front

and -1.4 deg or more rear camber or rolled rear fenders in the rear.

18x10.5 +44 with 285/30-18 would be a great track fitment (moderate camber), though the standard CCW 18x10 +50 with 285 would be better for the street (low camber).

Wheels are 19x9+11 225 35 and 19×10-8 235 35. Arches are custom made,welded on metal,made to fit wheels. Had to add 10mm spacers on all wheels to be flush with fenders.
