The wheel centerline went up just about a half inch. Not as bad as i had anticipated! I didn't weigh each wheel but it's about the same as the old 16 inch cragars I had on there.

What springs is it running?
Thanks. I'm pretty sure the rear springs are stock and the fronts may have been worked down an inch by the PO.

I'm thinking of going the route of sportlines. Maybe have to cut a little off the coil on the back to level it out. I'm not a huge fan of the raked third gen look.

Those look great man! Your car overall is really clean. I think you'll like the Sportlines, I do.

Re: Got a present from fed ex today!

Thanks! Once I get my taxes back I'll look into picking some up. I have plenty of time before spring hits. While I'm at it, I'll probably put on some slotted / crossdrill rotors. Might as well since I'll have the front end apart.

I'd like to put on a hurst shifter, but it's not a priority. Looks like i'm almost ready for spring cruising!

Re: Got a present from fed ex today!

The wheels look good. Soooo much better than chrome. Imo, if you're using the stock T5 shifter, an aftermarket shifter certainly should be a priority!!

Re: Got a present from fed ex today!

Yeah I have a stock t5 shifter. It's real sloppy.

Re: Got a present from fed ex today!

Ruckus, those new rims and tires look amazing! I agree that the stance needs a little work but wow what a difference a set of boots make.

Re: Got a present from fed ex today!

Thanks a lot! I'm going to go with the sportlines once i can put some money away. Just got out from being upside down on my truck and rolled it into a lease. I get bored with daily drivers too fast so I'm a poster child for leasing. I should have them ordered and on before it warms up in michigan.

Re: Got a present from fed ex today!

Any updates with stance? I'm going to get a set of these rims but will probably go 245/40/18 all around...
