Default 08 with 18x8.5 35 offset and B&G springs.

This is my $700.00 set up. I bought the wheels used and purchased the tires and springs new. Not my first choice but not bad for the investment.
NEW PICTURES DOWN BELOW

I was amazed at the ride quality. It now rides better than stock. For $200 springs I am very happy.

These pictures are from my work camera. Once I get home I can post better ones with side shots. I will say the rear sits just a tad bit more then I prefer BUT when riding 4 people the height is perfect.

I second the side shot with the sun more at your back. The shadows hide the fender gap. I'm sure that white in bright sun can get tricky. But some nice shots of the whole car from side with clear fender gaps would be great. Not trying to question your photo skill but if possible try not to take the side shot from really low or even high. Some people have taken pictures from almost ground level to show there lowering springs and it really give a wrong perspective of the fender gap.

I'm really interested in these springs so sorry if I come across kinda bossy/picky. I have just not seen many pictures of these springs and I'm excited to finally here of someone.

So Far car looks great, I wish I could get away with a setup for $700, must of got a smokin deal on those wheels cause we all know what everything else costs.
thanks

thanks for the link CIONIDE, This picture is when I first caught on to these in his posting a few weeks ago. I really like the look of the drop. But just like always. You always want to see more real world lowered cars to get an idea from a few cars, not just the display. I'm sure it should come out about the same, but a couple other expirences always help. While your on the horn. 18x 8.5's would need a 35mm offset to be perfect? How is that sitting in the wheel well. Flush/In/Out just a bit?

thanks

18x8.5 +35 would put the face of the wheels just a little bit OUT past flush with the edges of the front fenders, and just a little bit IN from flush with the rears. With a 1.6" front drop, you would want to go with 225/40-18 tires to avoid rubbing.

Guys I will post the side shots today....last couple of days have been hectic. My wheels are 35+ and sit flush with the front and rear. I was worried they would stick out as well but it fits like a glove.

It depends on your drop... mild drop = no rubbing with either 18x8 +45 or +35 offset & 225/40-18 tires. Heavy drop = no rubbing with +45 offset, but could rub if you push it really hard in turns with +35 offset.
