New rims and tires...Zoom Zoom

Post by Mcfly »

Yesterday it was like this......

Today it looks like this.......

OEM rims 18x7.5 (P215/45R18) have been replaced with RX-8 rims 18x8 (P235/40R18)
Old Rubber: Bridgestone Potenzas New Rubber:Yokohama Sport Advans
Got a good deal on them, and always liked the RX-8 rims.
Now I'm thinking of color matching them.
Nasty day out for pictures, tomorrow we'll have some sun...and I'll
try again.

Funny you should say that...I was looking into RPM Streets, but I've got to
talk to someone about rolling the fenders. I've got issues with pulling out the
fender wells, it's my daily driver, and it rains a lot in Florida. I want that
piece of plastic IN the wheel well! This guy said he could make a roll work
without gutting the wells.....I patiently wait for a visit with him, after the Holidays.

You would only have to roll your rear fenders, and not even that much.
