welcome to the forum.

looks like you've got some good plans.

i suggest you keep your rear splash guards though.

Going to lower a inch or two and see how 20mm spacers look on either the rear or all around.

3 piece wheels in the near future still.

I agree with leaving the rear splash guards. Makes the rear look lower too. Car looks clean with the drop and oem 19s.

True, but with your wide setup it doesn't affect the looks it. I was thinking more of how smooth the lines look from the side without the guards on all four. Plus it's one less thing to scratch over bumps.

10.5 rears and 8.5 front. Stretched tires, especially the rear. Fabulous Profounds from Japan.

looks like you could have gotten away without stretching tires at all.

got a closer pic of the wheel/fender?

The rear fenders aren't modified so I couldn't go lower or throw on a spacer. Only the rear tires are stretched. When I re-lip the fronts I'll change the setup.

I want to roll the rears to lower it a little back there. I'm probably going to tuck instead and fix the rake.

We all make mods that suit our likes and dislikes, you started with a nice T/B coupe just washing it made a whole lotta difference. Amazing what a little TLC will do for your ride. Wheels wouldn't be my choice, but it's your coupe. Enjoy the ride....Gary

Can't beat Japanese 3 piece wheels. I really like how it cleaned up after a detail and cleaning up only the trunk, splash guards and grill. Everyone has their own builds, I want a slammed car with wide wheels and mild performance mods. Of course other people want a sportier look but I chose a different direction. I think I picked the perfect chassis for it.

Update: 225 35 rear tires and 215 35 front tires, also rolled the rears and maxed out the BC coilovers without sacrificing preload, added a intake and starting the detailing process.Name:  492B10E7-42A6-41B4-9658-920DE9CCF3AC-634-0000005B3A007B45.jpg
