Cars looking great, love the black. What is the backspacing on your 19x12's and the width of your rear end flange face to flange face.
Thanks
Lenie

Thanks guys....ZE Boost brushed centers and the wheels had to be narrowed from 13 to 12". It was originally around 6.25 but probably closer to 5.25 now. Lenie you would have to call Frank at Prodigy on the rear and backspacing currently. They are pretty damn tight in there. I guarantee Frank will tell you to order your wheels and measure regardless since you can't be off by much. Specs on wheels and tires is 19x12 345/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sports 18x8.5 front 255/40/18 Pilot Sport(More than likely will be changed to 18x10 with a 275/35/18) I have bigger fish to fry now.

I have been burning the midnight oil. I have made some pretty good progress. I'll have an update this week. I recieved the wrong front brake kit and still waiting on a boat load of parts to show up. I have my second skin sound deadener showing up today or tomorrow.

DAYAM!! Just saw the pics of the car on the ground, LOVE the wheel tire combo and stance.

Man I love that steamroller look in the rear. Looks awesome

Thanks Ryan......I have been working 7 days a week at least 8 hours a day so I haven't done to bad for only having the car 2 weeks.

First thing I did was mount the battery in the trunk. It is made for a red top Optima. Mother F....er didn't fit of course. I had to flip over the top bracket and egg out the hole and switch hardware. Turned out nice though.

My brakes showed up, unfortunately my subframe change screwed me on the front brakes and they sent brakes for a stock sub. Wilwood dropped the ball there. I do have the rear brakes all ready to go minus the brake lines from the hose to the calipers. Just waiting on the rear end bracket. I did have to enlarge the stud holes in the rotors quite a bit. There is a shoulder about an 1/8 inch off the flange. The center hole needed enlarged very little. They fit perfect now and I have the parking brake adjusted and the rotor to caliper clearance is within spec. They look gooooood withthe wheels on but I was to lazy to lift those heavy sucker on there for the photo.

Next I ordered 40 sqft of second skin sound deadener. It wasn't to bad once I got the hang of it. Undecided on the firewall. Not real excited about using an insulator that could be very messy incase it decides it wan't to come loose. This should help substantially with road noise and exhaust resonance.
