    Too much spare time on your hands :s
    Why not get tyres fitted today instead?

    Rims look good man!

    You got some balls to do a wheel change on the road like that!

    you need to do a test fitment with the suspension loaded up, sit the wheels on something solid but softish so as not to damage them, and lower the jack, preferably after coilovers, i cant see those wheels poking much/if any as is.

    theres no point putting a super skinny tyre on unless it needs it. stretched tyres without flush fitment just looks stupid

    As hak said, Preload the suspension. The wheels will camber in even with factory suspension. I see them being flush, With no poke at all.

    Which makes a 215 seem stupid.

    Cheers

    By that logic, tinting your tail lights with night shade from Super Crap is JDM. I don't see what makes this 'JDM'. You could do the same to a Commodore, does that make it JDM?

    JDM doesn't mean anything except that the car was originally sold in Japan and imported.

    BTW, I don't think anybody has asked yet, is this N/A?

    I don't understand all the hate. So it might not be different to what we see every day on the road or on other forums, but it is different for this forum, and it's different for the OP.

    I'm sure he'll find his way with it and turn out another good looking ride just like in the past.

    It's not different and that's probably half the problem. Tacky tinted headlights. Tacky stickers. Tacky hella horns or whatever their called. It's just a bandwagon car with nothing unique.

    I actually think the tint on the headlights looks awesome, it contrasts the silver really well
    It'll look sick on those wheels
