I agree 100% its a sporty look, which is exactly what i am going for. imo et15 with dw 285 is the best fitment for the rear at stock height.. Your car is a great example. Props to you (even tho you don't like the rounded walls on it lol).

And yeah the re11's look like they will make your weds poke in the rear. Maybe pss might be better for you if you really want to change tires since they are in the mid.

I feel that maybe a 3 mm spacer would make it look perfect (for me), but I am not going to bother with spacers over 3 mm. I'll have to live with the set up for a bit (you know eye it for a few month) to see if I am completely happy.

It looks way better then stock already. And maybe a more square tire would improve it, but I like I said I am happy with what I have at this moment..

I see, that makes sense. that would make it fit like a nismo wheel (1mm difference) which fits great as well.

They do fit much better than stock i agree, you have good offsets for stock height, a lot of people go too aggresive at stock height. great choice and nice looking wheels.

I would if it wasn't snowing.

We got hit with 3 days of snow on Monday until Wednesday.

It was a beautiful 81 on Sunday and it should be back to 77 by the weekend.

I have lived here since 1978 and I have seen snow at least once in every month of the year.

That's the beauty of living near the mountains.

We also get these winds (Chinooks), in the winter, coming off the mountains, that in a matter of an hour can turn a -13F day into a 60F. Chinooks can blow for a week or longer giving us nice breaks from winter cold.

dang sounds like you're a good candidate for nitrogen.

maybe next time get wheels with 2 valve stems so that you can put nitrogen in there.
