gap is because the hood is open and bumper isn't bolted on...put the bumper on real quick to snap pix of the "complete package" it's easier to work in the engine bay without the bumper...I almost stepped on the lip once

 

how did you get the rear wheel to camber like that?

have you scraped the front yet?

i got a impul front with Z H-techs and i scrape that thing like a ****...

lovin the rear...

 

haven't really driven it much...right when I got it back, it had to go back in to fix a random issue. I was riding on my stock 18's at the time. My IC was only 4 inches from the ground...let's just say I was scared sh!tless lmao. I gained another inch from the 20s...woot woot...I shoulda gone with a 40 profile for the front, but o well.

The rears are like that cause the shop did a mock alignment with my 18s after installing the f+r SPC camber kit because my camber and toe was AWFUL! When I put the 20's on, it ended up like that. No big deal...getting an alignment tomorrow.

If I scrape, my intercooler will scrape first because it's a couple millimeters lower than the bumper

 

Those wheels are hot!

That is bad... I would get some kind of support made to fix that ASAP.

 

Love the black chrome with the silver combo.

 

Well, the IC is bolted on to the crash bar so it's not going anywhere but I am going to ask the shop to make some kind of undercover. I now have 5 inches from the ground to the IC, so it's not "too" bad

Thanks again for the complements everyone! I'll try to get a photoshoot together real soon!

 

OK 5" is not that bad. It looks lower than that. I would still have them put something below it ASAP because they are not that strong and road debris could put a hole in it.

 

I'll ask. I'm not too sure of what the exact configuration is underneath and what it looks like. I haven't gotten a chance to really look at stuff. I did measure the IC to the floor, though, and it was 4.9" with the 20's The bumper is just a few millimeters above that.

I think that it may look lower in the pix cause there's a pan on the floor underneath the IC, but I have a good amount of clearance....shouldn't be too bad. I just need to get used to the fact that my font sticks out a few more inches now with the lip

 

Yeah, make sure and stay back from the sidewalk and parking bumpers now since you may not clear. I don't.

 

I hear ya on that one

 

if you gained an inch from the 20's does that mean your overall diameter is now 2" more than stock? what tires are you running to throw it off so much?

 

Stock 18s: 225/45/18 = 25.97 diameter
My 20's : 255/35/20 = 27.02 diameter

The diameter difference is 3.89%. My speedo is def slower

I know it doesn't make sense since you would want the radius (half an inch), but it raised my car almost an inch. I measured before and after

Actually, I think I got the rest of that inch because my 18s had really bad camber. I think the wider wheel in the front "sits up" more straight so to speak. I wouldn't be surprised if I gained a few more millimeters from my alignment.

My rears are 285/30/20 and that diameter is only .19% off from OEM spec. I will, however, be purchasing 305/25/20 tires and rolling my fenders right before my final tune because my old 451's are pretty stretched in the rear, but those will still be within 3% of OEM spec.
