    First Pics (New Wheels....Losta Pics!)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I've been on here for a few years, but have never really posted pics of my car, so I figured its a better time than ever now that I have new wheels!

    Finally got some new tires (225/40-18 General Exclaim UHP) on these VMR VB3's and put them on.

    Let me know what you think..all comments welcome. Love it, hate it....or think I should drive it off a cliff? Its all good

    PS...before you said "LOWER IT!", I have Koni Coilovers coming next week.


    Lots of pictures!





    Bout even with the fender






    Stealth Pic!



    I've got a lot more, but those were the ones that made the cut.

    And yes I am repping the 2.8 am loving it....keeps me from spending too much money on the car!

    Please feel free to flame me for not completely reading the OP. With the Koni's I'm sure it will look awesome. Be sure to post pictures.

    Thanks, I have considered going to an RS4 grill, it would probably look better if I did that.

    I do like how clean the rear of the cars look on debadged cars as well

    Re: First Pics (New Wheels....Losta Pics!)

    Did you have to use longer lugs. I ask that bc the wheel sits pretty flush to the fender or is it the offset or are you runing spacers?

    Its the offset I'm not running spacers, so I just used the same lugs...I plan to lower it 1.5"-1.75" and after talking to VMR they do not think I will rub with that drop.

    The wheels are 18x8.5 ET40 and the tires are 225/40-18 btw.

    Instead of lowering it just buy one of these. Much cheaper.

    They had 255/35-18's on there when I got the tires, and they rubbed in the back.

    Rather than buying spacers and probably running into more problems when I lower it I just decided to get some smaller tires.

    Car looks good on those VB3's but definitely needs a drop asap! In for the some pics after the drop.
