The Stimulation's New Wheel Setup
Unfortunately I can't take pics of a final setup because I have so much work that needs to be done. Really damaged my front fender and rears need lots of work since I'm doing the body work myself (cutting inner fender walls and hammering out more). Also I need a couple new suspension parts (rack and pinion and driver front lower control arm) along with fixing my O2 sensor. Damaged the crap out of those being too low....low enough where a lug nut won't clear the sway bar. I drive on some pretty bad roads too and of course it's my daily.
That said this isn't a final setup. I know the rears are tucking and fronts not poking enough, fenders need to fixed in the rear, less negative camber all around and adjust the height, tad lower all around, more stretch in the rear too, and a new front bumper since it's held by zipties since the mounting point to the fender broke.
Specs:
Wheels are BMW Style 95's (745 wheels). 19x9 and 19x10 +24. I have custom adapters, 40mm for the front and 31mm for the rear. Effective offset are 19x9 -16 and 19x10 -7
Tires: 215/35/19 Nankang NS-II's in front and 235/35/19 Achilles in the rear
Center caps will have 5mm crystals filling them completely. Color of the wheels is a sparkle silver. Major props and shout out to zeroscythe and Strafe for hooking it up. Got a great deal on stripping the paint, fixing curb rashes, and powdercoating the wheels. Color really pops out in the sun.

French, I do miss my old setup..but had to sell since I need money. And sidemarker is missing because I no longer have the bracket and want to run my Kenstyle but at it's current height, it's nearly on the ground. Was rocking OEM and I could care less sine it looks beat anyway and now, no front since I would barely clear anything with the front since it's even lower than the pic.
Jeff, I totally agree, needs more work. Hopefully before the end of summer it will be complete.
