After what seems like years, I finally have my car back on the road so I thought I would post a pic. The interior still needs to be completed, but I have an Esty carpet kit on its way!

Drove on the driveway with the eibachs and they settled a bit - new 1-dot pads and new rubbers on bottom.

Good question, I need to measure them again since I had them widen. But they are about 20et front and maybe 20-25et in the rear.

I bet you could be wider in the rear.

Just don't say that to any females.

My plan is to put the 7.5 up front and make the rear 8.5. But that's just crazy talk, right? hehe

Don't the best idea's always start as crazy talk?

I bet with some stretch it could be done.

I have 8.25" with 195/45 for the rear that I am getting ready. They clear rather nicely so I don't doubt you can get 8.5 back there.

The 7.5" in the front will be the tricky one. :P

8.5 with 205 on the rear of stock rolled fenders!!=crazy talk! That's why I'm going to do it ohmy.gif

I'll already tried the 7.5 with 195/45 in the front and it's super tight but still doable. I would rather stick with 7" but I'm going to work with what I have.
