thanks man

No problem bro, your car is clean and simple and you cant go wrong there. Makes me wish I never got rid of mine, but theives out here are horrible. What other plans do you have for it besides the swap?

This is my old si with 15x8 +25 all around on 195/45 Nexen. Stock camber and just rolled fenders. Just a reference for what's possible without going over the top.

That and getting rid of your fender liners. Had to yank mine out of every Honda I owned. Clean Ek bro

no, no big deal, well i did run 195 and they are wide, but they also have alot more tire height either in 45/50 (ive tried) and i was rubbing everywhere. i live in Florida that being said the roads here are as perfect as they get all year round. i dont live in a metro i live in a small town where they pride them selves on great roads and their curb appeal, so with exception of a few speed bumps here and there, im not worried about my oil pan... this car is just a car to have fun , dink around and zip around town to run errands. with me being as low as i was and 195 didnt cut it and raising the car was also not an option for the low ground clearance i wanted.... with the spacers the car looks ALOT better, yet still has all the function i want. the rear wheel gap is present, but it even all around making u want to scratch your head, saying, I know its lowered, but i dont see it. same for front... i just wanted more function, and no rubbing lock to lock...

Understood, still a great looking car!!! Loving the interior, keep up the great work bro.

Love what your doing here, but why not run 195/45s or 195/50s. It would allow you more low. Running such a small tire will have you low but youll have some unwanted wheel gap. Running that size tire at your ride height has to have that oil pan close to the groud as it is esp with a B series, yet still not tucking. The spacers that you have would work just fine, if you ran a 195 unless Im wrong. Still a good looking EM1 clean and simple..love it. No **** just wondering why the wheel choice. I might have missed something in the thread explaining it and if I have I do apologize.

Whats with the front bumper? Other than that it looks good. I miss my black one.

the front bumper is in the shop getting redone, this one is a temp bumper with no clear to just hold the front end tofgether.

Car looks good, would look even better with the right sized tires and 10mm more of spacer.

I was actually thinking of doing 30 rear and moving these 20's to the front ! But that's after my GSR swap
