Default Wheels and tires 18's (megafandrew here you go)

put on the new wheels and tires this is mostly for megafandrew but also to show people just about the max you can do on an 03 for lowering with skunk2 lowering springs, skunk2 camber kit, ingalls camber bolts, enkei OR52s 18x7.5 +5 raped in Kuhmo Ecsta SPT 215/40/ZR18tires. unfortunatley im going to have to roll the rear fenders because i had to adjust my camber so the wheels would aim in away from the fender if anyone wants to help explain how i should let me know.

also just to show it off because i think its one of the nicest 7th gens in a while
lemme know what you think also what you think i should do after rolling the fenders im thinking tint followed by trans swap






ya the paint doesnt match when my car was hit the body shop didnt match it right


the wheel caps are on there way

Not bad...a little too big IMO. Definitely gonna have to roll those fenders. What's the offset on the wheels?

I'm not big on the "tuck" thing, or rolling fenders, but I like how those rims look.

IMO, if you have to roll fenders, something isn't right. The offset is wrong, the rim is too wide, the tire is the wrong size, and/or the suspension is too low. I'm probably in the minority on this.

Nice rims though. Classy, not flashy.

offset is 45 i think ya stock struts saving for some new ones maybe get fronts at least for my bday end of this month ya the fenders HAVE to be rolled there is no other option for those but the fronts are fine no rubbing or anything

i used to think i had an ugly little four door now i love this beast
what struts would you suggest?

bigger brakes and lower the front more and it'll look pretty good.
