New Wheels and Tires

Here are some pics of the sedan with the new rims and tires. I bought AZA
Z1's from Wheelmax. They are 18x8.5 with 245/45-18 Falken FK452's.

Aero kit and sways are next.

Porter Cable and Menzernas products will be here Tuesday so the cars exterior should be looking better soon.

that looks so good.
i really can't stand people who put 20''s on their cars and have a half an inch of tire left. it's just unpractical, this on the other hand, is clean looking, and the Falkens should perform great

i knew you were gonna reply to that post i just did. lol. despite the fact your DD has 20's and you have absolutely no complaints, how'd iit compare to stock 17 at the drag? cmon i saw what you were postin in that drag thread. that's what i meant by keeping the stock wheel size, only reason.

To the stock 17's? : Way better, they are too narrow and I could never get traction. With the stock 17's and drag tires, yeah, the 17's are better. Drag tires will always win in any size. I thought this was about practicality? Where did the drags come in?

I do agree that smaller wheels are better comfort for daily driving cars. But if you get the right suspension and are willing to give up a little comfort for big performance gains it is very worth it.

I just took a little offense to your post but that is my problem, not yours. Your comment was not aimed directly at me nor was it anything more than just an opinion.

Thanks for the compliments all. I really appreciate it.

My wheels are +38 all around and they work great, no rubbing and no scraping so far.

And I guess my thread was banished to the forum of obscurity. Any reason for that? Plenty of people post pics of their cars in the sedan forum.

Thanks for the offsets Avinator they look perfect.

Aw man, what the heck is happening to this site. Someone was moving 07 sedan stuff from the 07 sedan section last week. Now they are moving your sedan pics to another area. It seemed so organized before and now everything is going to get lost in the shuffle.
