yeah I have an X but spring/summer time I am going to pull the fuse so I can run staggered and then in the winter put the fuse back in!!

damn love the rims but can you take bigger shots of the fender and how close your 42mm offset wheel is? i'm lookin at 42mm offset and 10" wide wheels w/ no fender rolling yet. i dont want to get stuck w/ having everything rub

Don't be silly jimmy
I have OEM rims with tires already on them....so I swap between complete sets. That would be insane if I swapped tires...besides, they wouldnt fit on my stockers

Thanks Gary. Yeah, went front darkest to lightest in like a final 20 minute decision. I was on the fence till my buddy came over and was like "BRUSHED ALUMINUM FTW!"

Thanks mayor
I am actually running 45mm in the rear. I may have some pics handy at home (at work right now). I will post them up if I do...if not I will take some this weekend.

I have no rubbing issues right now. Had the Mrs. and two of my kids in car seats last week....no rubbing what so ever.

I am going to drop it more though which may lead me to have to roll the fenders.

Is the front bumper part of the aero kit? I love the center vent on the bumper. The new wheel looks sweet too!

I plan on using my OEM ones as a winter setup and the aftermarkets as my summer set. It only takes me like 15 minutes to swap rims...being a son of a mechanic, I have all the tools I need to get'er done

Yep, that's the front bumper. I have the whole kit.

Thanks

That's a clean IP. I bet there isn't a scratch on your car. Your aero front bumper probably hasn't scraped once.

^Thanks G35dreamz
I wish. I've had the rear bumper re-sprayed (thanks wifey ), I have 3 door dings I need to get fixed and small winkle in the front fender (hit and run) On the very bottom of the front bumper cover there is a small scrap. Little chips here and there from rocks.

Its my daily driver so it gets driven alot. (90K+). I do my best to keep it as clean as possible but it's inevitable that it will get damaged by others or by just the daily grind of a commute.
