installing the new rims this evening.  i'm worried the fit is going to suck though.  does anyone else get that nervous feeling before installing their new rims?  actually, i think the fit will be ok, its the drop that won't be enough.   :sick:

Well here are some pics.  Car's dirty and these aren't great pics.

What are the wheel specs?  And how much of a drop?  Sedan or coupe?

07 coupe.  Neuspeed supercup sport at the lowest perch.  According to neuspeed should be 2.25" F 2" R.  wheels RPF1 17x9 +45.  tires 255 / 40.  According to wheel tire calc, 255/40 is .5" smaller than the stock 215/50 i have on now.  more concerned that the .5" of wheel gap is gonna be fugly.

Looks good. Although a 45 would have filled in the fender gap a bit more. It should look fine.

You should be able to pull it off since you have a coupe.  If it were a sedan, they wheels would be sticking out and rubbing like a fat chick's thighs.  If you're worried about wheel gap, consider a coilover set up so you have adjustability.

looks real good. i would have gone with a bigger rim so i would not have so much tire.... by the way i could not even tell that the car was dirty if you hadnt told us about it. That what i love about the satin silver color.

They're Enkei RPF1's.  15.9lbs each in 17.  With tires I'm looking at 40.9lbs per wheel/tire.  I wanted the 18's but they only come in a +35 on the 9" width.  The narrower widths have a different face which I don't like as much.  I know this sounds dumb, but the car looks much better in person.  The stance looks pretty aggressive cause of the width.  I wish I didn't have the front tire poke but I didn't wanna run staggered.  I'll post better pics after the holidays.  Gotta flight to catch on Sunday.

with RPF1 it's more function > form.

wheels are very light for a cast wheel.
