You can safely tack with the 9.5+41 TEs? I thought those were too aggressive for stock fenders.

Formula silver looks fantastic with LBP

Those Volks are absolutely perfect. Your car is very well put together.

It really all depends on a variety of different factors... for example the vehicles ride height, alignment specs, tire sizes, and whether or not the fenders have been rolled/pulled. This sizing does require rolled fenders and the typical rear bumper connection relocation, but beyond that it is certainly manageable without over-fenders or wider front fenders. It is relatively easy to fit in the rear with a 245 or 255 tire, but the front is where it is a little more challenging (depending on the variables I mentioned above). So some people have decided to run Downforce fenders or other wider alternatives to provide additional clearance.

Haha I'll try and dig up some more photos... I only had the car on the road with the TE's for a few weeks before I went to a track day and put the Advan's back on. I have been to the Dragon once before, but I haven't been to any of the s2k events there. It's about 13 hour drive so I'm not sure if I will make the spring event.

Here's a photo of the car at the event I organize every year called First Class Fitment in Princeton, NJ.

Yeah, that was a great look but I think I am going a slightly different direction with the car now. I am actually planning to list the Rega's for sale soon.

I just read through this entire thread. What an amazing transformation! I saw it once when you were here in Charlotte. Funny how you know Eric B (white TL) too

No major updates to the car... I put my TE37's back on the car a few weeks ago, after running the Advan's and Regamasters for most of the year.

I decided it's time to simplify things and sell my NSX Spec Regamaster Evo's so I just listed them for sale in the Marketplace.

Here is a photo of the wheels for reference...



I got a new hood and several other small parts for the car over the winter that I haven't installed so hopefully I'll have some updates soon!
