Finally got coils and wheels

Picked up some Work CR Kai Kiwami 19x9.5 +15 & 19x10.5 +12 in GT Silver from Jeff @ Micro Image in California. Got the wheels within 1 week and ordered tires that same day. Federal 595 EVO in 225/35/19 & 235/35/19

I also picked up some used BC coilovers though a guy from a Facebook group for a great deal.

here are the results





Ordering rear camber arms asap so I can clear the fender a bit more. I had to raise the car just a bit until I get those arms.

I also got the Carsmo ***** from Ray

Heres a pic of them installed on the left compared to the OEM ones on the right.

Wow never thought of CR Kais on the sedan. Looks great in my opinion.
That's a tight fit out back! Doesn't look like it rubs how it is now, crazy. What spring rates do you have on your coilovers? Looks like if you lower it more the wheel lip could come in contact with your fender when hitting bumps in the road. Or do you think you'll have enough camber after the arms to tuck the wheels inside?

The rears do rub. I need to get camber arms ASAP. For the time being I raised it 1/2 inch so it only rubs when I corner kinda hard and on big bumps. I also preloaded the rear so it's a bit stiffer so it won't hit rim when I lower it more later on

Love those wheels, and the stereo ***** are a nice detail, might have to look into those.
Good luck w/ the rear fit, looks like you'll have to set camber around -3 or more if you plan on getting by w/out a fender pull. Look forward to pics after you get things dialed in, always cool to see those that push the limits.

Very good looking rims, but your rears look to me like the tires don't fit the wheels, and the wheels don't fit the car. Looks kind of ridiculous.

On the other hand, those dashboard ***** are very appealing. Where'd you get those, please?

Since you just sent payment John looks like you've peaked my interest. I've never heard of you jumping on a mod so quick so this one HAS to be gold
They really do look quality all the way!

lol, that was pretty quick. There are some negative reviews in that it doesn't really match the brushed aluminum Shodo but I have the Titanium Nismo **** and it goes well with it.

They fit just fine. Since right now it's natural camber from lowering the car, I just need to add a little bit more rear camber to make it tuck without rubbing.... Then I can lower it more.

Thanks man! I was going to order the +22 for the rears but for the look I'm going for I had to go as aggressive as I can. I'm actually surprised that it fit so well by guessing.
