What on earth do those do? Also I am glad to read you are getting the mismatched junkyard body panels painted. As for the ARC parts meh do what you will they do make some pretty parts. Totally worthless performance wise but pretty.

Also on your wheel choice why only 18x8.5? Thats fairly narrow. and the rear will look more sunken in than the front. Those are fine for the front but see if you can find the 18x9.5 +38 for the rear. It will take more work to fit but they will look better than the 8.5's in the rear. Roll and pull fenders and run 3-3.5 degrees of camber in the rear.

That FS thread makes me wish I bought an AP1 up in Washington that was full of ARC bits, instead of my '07. Dude is selling those for insane prices!

Some people aren't so quick to roll and pull a clean oem body to look better. Run wheels that fit the car rather than make the car fit the wheel, no its not flush but its also reversible.

The wheel he is saying he is getting will need a full roll and probably a pull in the front and thats not really reversible unless you buy new fenders. Also if you look at the pics of the car its not a clean OEM body. I hope he does the fender work before painting it otherwise he will have problems.

Thanks for lookin out on the for sale arc parts guys I definitely appreciate it and I have the heat shield and cooling panel coming in... I was thinking that 8.5 is kinda narrow for an s2k, the lowest I wanted to go was 17 or 18x9 at the lowest and I want a square setup... the radiator thats for sale isnt cheap ill have to save up for that.lol I just want to establish to you guys MY CAR LOOKS LIKE SHIT!!!!!!! I bought it with the ap1 black rims black hood etc etc the parts ive added are:

The arc parts, new starter, all new boots, hubs, arp studs, wheel bearings, pads, steel braided lines, slotted rotors, fixed the exhaust, quick release and nardi 350mm deep corn, the list isnt too long but I think you get the point... I haven't done the big things I want to do like paint wheel setup coilovers etc just due to the fact that I dont know exactly what look im going for... but im gonna do it right... just gonna take some time and money...

Yeah i would hold off on buying those gram lights as there are plenty of 9 inch wide wheels that will fit better. Those come in kinda odd sizes. Again the 17x9.5 +38 is doable with the right work and then you could run the 17x8.5 +40 fronts.

Ok sounds like thats the way to go with our cars... I just want to go with a low offest due to the fact that most rims look alot better in a lower offset...
