Lol that's nothing like my boys E430, it looks retarded. You can see about 2 inches of tire from behind the car, the 430 does have some ***** though.

Ah, brings back memories. I remember back in the early 90's when the cholo's would push their rims out like that on the 3rd and 4th gen accords.

A LOT of hawring this weekend... and I was not drunk.


I hope you guys aren't going to hate on my rims when I get them... they may stick out a littler, but hopefully not. Rims + tires will be here tomorrow, different shipments from different people, but good timing eh? Gonna get them mounted after work tomorrow and hopefully have them on soon... Anyone else putting their wheels on this early? I'd usually think it's stupid because you don't get any grip with low pro tires but these tires are all season regular tires and I would like the extra traction..

Cam, I wouldn't go K... it's far too much work for the amount of money you have/make. Sure it would be cool, but it's kind of irrational and you have a good base for the H swap.

mounts are down to 500ish now. There is a write up and its not that difficult, and then I would have the correct set up........intake on the front exhaust on the rear......i think i'm going to do it.
