I am running the same turbo on my other car (S14a EUDM SR20DET), you will be pleasantly surprised on how fast they are spooling and how aweseome they sound!

yes you do, the wheels ALMOST fit. Pretty much just take off the paint and sliver of the caliper.

ugh i dont think i could bring myself to do that.

i'd honestly rather shave a strip in the wheel lol

the wheels are only 250 a piece. the calipers cost more so they stay 100% the same lol

I wouldn't shave anything. You can buy 2.5 mm spacers from Z1 and probably other places. Even if you have to buy longer studs, it's totally worth it to not take the ghetto way out.

didnt know they had that small of spacers. if that was all that was needed to not rub the calipers then i would have bought the wheels and rubber already lol

like i said i found those 18x12 ROTAS (yes i know they have a terrible rep) for $275 a piece. then 350-400 a tire for some MT DR's and i'd be in business lol
