Thanks everyone. I was reading that a 205 would fit nicely. Unfortunately, the Azenis are really agressive in terms of profile. So the tire rubs on dips in the road. Only in the front. I just made a 3 hour trip from Miami to Cocoa Beach and I found that it is rubbing this clip that holds the fender liner in place. It is kind of square and bulky. If I can get rid of those and put flat fasteners in there, I will be good to go. Lucky for me, one came off as I took a corner too quickly! The liner isn't sagging or anything. I will be here until Sunday and then back to Miami and I will look at other options to get rid of the rubbing.

I DO NOT know how people run 16 or 17 inch rims! More power to them.

Thanks for the compliments and look for the GOOD pics come Monday. The Works, Azenis, coupled with the Skunk2 springs means business! This is one low sucker and the front gives me about a fingernail gap!

OK...Cool...so you DIDN'T rip the whole fender liner out then?! Just making sure my return trip is fine and doesn't pull the fender off!

Black Konig 15" Feathers on my SSM Base Fit

I'm about to pick up a set of Konig Feathers in 15x6.5" with a 40+ offset at my local shop tomorrow.

On Wednesday I'll be purchasing a set of Toyo T1R's in 195/50/15 from the same shop when that shipment arrives. Finally the set of Skunk2 springs I ordered at another local shop (to wich I am the MIS for) should be getting in about Thursday.

I already purchased a set of Ray's Dura Nuts in Blue. I expect to purchase a set of matching Ray's valve stems down the road, the shop I bought the nuts from gets a few sets in every other month, so I'll keep an eye out for them.

I'll post pics of the wheels with the Nuts mocked up on them tomorrow.




===========================EDIT=================== ========


As promised, here are the pics!!

Final setup:

Konig Feather's in 15"x6.5" +38 offset in Gloss Black
Toyo Proxes 4 tires in 195/50/15 (300 treadwear, V Rated, AA Traction A Temperature)
Black Muteki short and open ended Super Tuner Nuts (all nuts are locking and require the key to unbolt)
Skunk2 Lowering Springs (1.5" drop in the front, 1.0" drop in the rear. Spring Rate: (F/R) 3.1K / 6.2K)

Sorry for the lack of updates. I just got the Skunk2 springs installed 2 days ago and I got the tires last week,although I went with some Proxes 4 in the same size to save some money and invest in a tire that has better daily driven longetivity. I'll be purchasing a set of RA1's for track duty next month.

The rims got held up at the distributor. I'll get the rims by tomorrow at lunch time and by sun down they should be mounted. I'll give the car a good wash/wax on saturday and post pics of them installed. I'll try and post some pics of the rims themselves with the tires and such tomorrow if I get a chance.

I'll keep you guys updated!!!

BTW....

CONFIRMED ZERO RUBBING!! EVEN WITH 4 PEOPLE IN THE BACK, FULL TRUNK AND A HARD DIP ON THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH. So I guess that seals that deal.

They're less than $600 with tires from edgeracing.com. They must sell a ton of them because whenever I look, they're always sold out.

i was really thinking about these rims

ive concluded that the chrome gsr blades looks the best on NHBP fits...i saw these on a black 2000 civic coupe and couldnt help but just stare, man now i want these rims badly

i want to lightly modify my car, so these gsr blades would give a really clean look, and still look some waht stock...i dont wanna be noticable by cops and thiefs
