New Enkei rims pics; -56k

I put on Enkei RPM2's last week, and I just took some quick pics today. Let me know what you all think, any suggestions also would be appreciated. They are 18x8" RPM2's in hyper black. Whats gay is that my center caps wouldn't fit cause the offset was +45. I have more pics on my cardomain.

Those look great! I think a Stillen kit would complete the look.

Yeah it does look a little high, I might think about switching up with s-tech's in a couple months.. but then i'd need that camber kit/bolts I think.

nice wheels, love the color. the other great thing is that they only weigh 18.5 lbs too, so they're a good set of middle weights.

I like the rims a lot.

What could be the solution for center caps not fitting. Like at the rear, could those metal caps be hammered a little in, or use some other kind of sealent against moisture?

George, how did you get caps to fit? Did you use H&R spacers?

You prolly had +35 offset, mine were +45. So

I think I'm gonna go ahead and get the tein s-tech's soon, should make it look a lot better.

I have ordered Tokico HP's and Tien S-Techs .. Are you saying I'm gonna need some addition hardware?

Could someone elaborate on this? Should I beordering some addition hardware?

I saw a thread a while back about boots for the struts .. but I cant find it now.

What all am I gonna need to add the struts and new springs?

Funny you should point that out. I want a set of those. How hard are they to install.

And ... since you actually replied to me ... answer me this batman .. do I need camber plates or whatever else was mentioned?

The only thing I ordered was struts and springs. Do I need some other hardware to swap these out?

They are not hard to install at all. You just use the new parts in place of OEM when you reassemble the rear suspension.

You don't need camber plates. Your car should still be in spec after lowering. I have H&R springs and -1.0 degrees camber on both sides.

Thanks for the info. The tien springs are a 2.2" drop so I was worried about that.
