the gap looks to much to me.
I guess I'll wait until I get the adjustable suspension in before I mess with the wheels/tires

no, but most people dropped and wheeled at the same time.
I normally attributed it to poor tire size choice, but your tire size is actually taller than stock.
I had hoped that a taller tire would look better, but alas that is not the case

ya, I would of loved to drop it at least an inch. But unfortunately I can't afford new rims/tires...springs/struts all at once, and labor to put on springs/struts........... and the tire size isn't much taller, but it is. I did that tire size calculator or whatever and I think it said something like its 0.8% off or something. anyhow I don't plan on keeping the stock springs, when money comes, I will lower it. and then when more money comes, i will put a kit on it. maybe you rich folk that buy all this for your cars at once can help me out

Me? rich
This car has 2 bald front tires, 2 bad axles, a torn rack boot, leaky crank seal, oil pressure switch leak. and some other odds and ends are bad
Y-pipe too.
I'm hoping to be able fix all of this within the next 6 months.
though tires/axle/rack are all gonna be sooner rather than later

pretty nice, did you buy them new or off of someone else? i only ask because i saw some chick on cardomain with the same ones(she had the blue center cap on). good call with the chrome centercap.

after looking at the rims....it looks like they were used rims, that were how would you say..redone? so they looked brand new, no dents or anything. I got it form this deal on ebay. *new*rims and brand new kuhmo 225/50/17 tires, all that shipped for $750.
