Front should be fine, rear might need a spacer unless I plan on going wtih a wider tire. Haven't decided if I should go with more stance and less tire or more tire and less aggressive stance.

Well the tire shop didn't understand the concept of staggered tires, so they mounted the wrong tires on the wrong wheels. The car will be ready tomorrow.

Yep they managed to mount one of the fronts with a 225 and one with a 255... Then he didn't understand why the 225 didn't fit on a 9.5 rear (which frankly if they knew what they were doing they could have made it fit, but anyway I'm glad he couldn't cause they wouldn't have caught this)
Anyway, the wheels on there looked fantastic (imo), didn't think to snap a picture but I will have pics up tomorrow.

Wow...If my tire shop made that mistake, I'd take it elsewhere... 
BUT...
Look forward to the pics tomorrow!

ExploreTrust me, I'm never going back, but I couldn't move the car how it was.
Honestly I'm new to having work done in Nashville, so I'm still figuring out who to take the car to. I'll have new suspension coming soon, and I need to find someone I really trust to do the install cause on my last car I had problems with the suspension install and I don't need that.

They look super clean! Are they forged or cast?
Ps - Time to lower that sucker

These are cast. NUE's are offered in 17, 18, and 19 cast in 8.5 and 9.5 (I think only 18 goes to 9.5).
They are however offered in a forged option, which if you have the cash for it you can get any size and width and offset you want.
The cast ones weigh 26 pounds which really isn't too bad.
And yes, time to lower her. So badly needs it, just need to sell one last set of wheels and I'll be going H&R coils

Any reason why you went with 255 on the rear instead of 265? Will the latter rub? Just asking since I'm planning to change tires soon.

Both the Forgestars and Rotiforms look sweet. Congrats on your buy.

Here's a set of 9.5's all around on a car to give you all an idea. I'm going to run them without spacers and see how I like it, and go from there.
That negative camber is insane!Originally Posted by pww
Me either, it's been a long enough wait

Went with H&R's. Found a set new for $1100, which is a hard to beat price when it includes a lifetime warranty. I was between that and KW's, but the price difference was too hard to justify.Originally Posted by FrankW
nice! which coilovers did you pick up?

Great choice of rim. Smart to go with an 18" with no lip. Can't wait to see more pics.
