Sportmax 002 Gold wrapped in 195/45
Just got my new wheels on my BOP box... Sport Max 002 in gold wrapped in some Federal SS595 tires in size 195/45-15. It is dropped on Tanabe DF210 springs, stock struts/shocks w/18k miles, and OTG spacer and camber shims stacked. Let me know what you think... could be lower but my next mod will be coilovers.
Sorry for the low quality camera phone pics...

thanks y'all! I just took it out for a ride packed with my fams and it rubs a little bit on the freeway. there is about a thumb sized gap all the way around when I have passengers. I will roll out the fenders tomorrow and post more pics with a better camera.

The spacer keeps the rear flush with the fronts and camber is to help clear the fender. The tires helped a bit too for a little more stretch. But damn, still need to have my fenders rolled all the way around.

Looks good,but I noticed something....
Are the tires directional? Because the driver-side tire looks like it was mounted backwards. I had Yokohamas on my truck that weren't directional,but they looked "backwards" on one side.

what's the difference between a regular space and an OTG spacer? also when you mention camber shims, do you mean washers/spacers? from the pics, it looks like you had your fenders widened, or is it just my eyes deceiving me?
looks great no doubt! let's see more pics

Sorry about that LOL
