Also, are you running spacers? They look like they might be spaced out a little bit. Do you know if spacers are required or maybe only with aftermarket BBK?

Are you on coil overs? The car looks great!

mine are a 215/35/18 series with no spacers and i am slammed on coils. no rubbing or anything. im pretty sure they will clear any BBK with no spacers. the BBK i have fits stock 16's so i have nothing to worry about there.

you will need tuner bolts though...FYI.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I know about the tuner size holes in the wheels. I want black lugs so I'm going to order some lug-studs and Muteki black tuner lug nuts.

More TD Pro Race 1 pictures!

15" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1s. I had graphics made for the center caps and outer rim, with clear vinyl over them. I had the front end repainted by Scott of Central Coast Coopers. I'll add the black strips to the front soon to match the back. The car in the background is a really clean '95 Honda Hatchback Si with a lot of nice mods. It has 75,000 miles and I picked it up from a really good friend a few weeks ago.

Can someone please post pics of a MINI shod with 225x50-16s? I'm considering that alternative and would like to see how they fill the fender well.

Looks nice, starting to get used to the new body style...

Anyone know if the R56 sideskirts fit the R53? I like them a lot..

I don't think those are Tenzo Mach-10's The center part doesnt look right. His rim is smoother...and the Tenzo Mach-10 red lip is thinner....

But, I dont think they are Volks either....HMMMMmmmmm

Lemme guess....Rota Force Time Attacks in 17x8?
