Well I just decided my wheels werent right so I switched it up. Went from the Enkei FN-18s to Enkei RPM2s. Both wheels are 18x7.5 w/ a 42mm offset. Oh also got the H&R springs installed....opinions welcome!

that looks crazy good, how did you go about taking off the side moldings?

much better. any rubbing with that offset?

No rubbing at all. Sits perfect IMO. As far as the side moldings are concerned I just simply pulled them off. Grabbed a corner and off they came. It left a little bit of residue behind but that quickly came off and then a good coat of wax over it all gave it the finishing touch.

dizaammmm...looking good
Being that my car is also silver, makes me wanna hurry up and get some wheeeeeeeeelz/drop
What size rubber on those 7.5 +42's?
IDRVSLO
07-20-2007, 01:06 PM
Running stock rubber for the time being. They fit perfect on a 7.5 wheel.

Yeah actually I already have that....35% the pictures don't show it too well because of how bright it was. It looks WAY darker in person or in other angles. Thanks for all the compliments! I am kind of in love with my car......haha!

Looks very nice! For some reason Im getting sick of lips, these are refreshing to me, and also look a lot bigger than your old wheels because theres no lip, good choice bro!

They will rub once you put 235/40 series tires on them. I need to roll my fenders with the H and R springs with Enkei RS7's 18 x 7.5 42et

Enkeis, are not that expensive. And I'm pretty sure he's not rolling in dough, because he's in the Army, I know, I'm in the Army too, lol.
Unless he reenlisted down range, then you're rich........ for like two weeks haha.
