I've actually been already kinda thinking about that (my next set of tires) - I think I'm going to try a 295/30 rear next time and see what the car looks like with tires that are less staggerred in height front to rear... 295's would fit w/o rolling, but that would be the absolute edge - I'm glad I have the springs I have, b/c I don't think I could even be 1/4" lower because of the height of the 285/35's (if my camber wasn't fixed, however, I could probably run a 305/30 - I'll have to see if I want to mess with that next time around) - the good thing about this setup is that it definitely gives you a lot of options front/rear...

Interesting and oh by the way, you should add the Mt. Fugi emblem to your grill. A good finishing touch.

Wow those look good. Your car is put together very well. I'm trying to decide what spoiler I want and yours looks pretty nice. I'm still leaning towards the gialla though.

They told me my volks shipped today so hopefully i'll have them by monday or tuesday of next week. I'll post pics as soon as they're on.

Congrats.

Thanks guys!

Allforthecash - if I remember correctly, Profile's running a 275/30 (which is about 1" smaller in diameter than my 285/35) so that would be the reason why - I wanted to keep the staggerred look, but I actually think the 285/35 might be just a "tad" too tall - I think next time I'll try a wider but shorter profile tire like a 295/30 (but at the rate I've been putting miles on my car, that won't be for another 2 years! ie I work four blocks away from my house)

Import-Tooner - I really like the way the gialla looks, but for the price I got the spoilerdepot one, I couldn't pass it up ($226 shipped & PAINTED!) - I actually had a Data systems spoiler on order, but cancelled it when the GB on the SpoilerDepot one came up (I was going to pay $350 shipped for the Data + have to pay for paint,etc)

GFly - your car doesn't look bad either! I love the gunmetal ones, but I saw a 350z with this color combo and fell in love - it definitely is a perfect color match in person!

The weather looks like it's going to be getting better this weekend, so I think I might head up to the hill country and take some scenic pics

Oh my crap, those rims just made me orgasm a little. That is exactly what I was hoping they'd look like on our car. Where and how much?

they'll be fine - that's what just about EVERYBODY has... they will be smaller in overall diameter than mine and have a more "stretched" look, but they'll be fine... I just wanted a little more protection for my beautiful polished lips

puncher - sexual connotations towards my car are not appreciated - it is NOT feminine, therefore he does not want it in the rear... j/k!

Is that a special price or can I get it if I pay cash?
