Got rubber on wheels today, but there was one minor mistake....

They got mounted to the car I took them in as well by accident..... I didn't know they fit a Buick.... Haha

235/40R18 on 18x9....

245/40R18 on 18x9....

I think they look pretty good. I'm pleased...

Another small update. ETA on suspension is Monday, bumper got painted today, and trying to order hub rings from Tire Rack since other supplier didn't have any. Pics of bumper and a new Scion FR-S I saw....




 

Thanks man, I'm on a pretty tight budget, so it's slower than a normal build. It's getting there one step at a time though. My goal is start the 1JZ swap by next summer. I want to finish the interior (get rid of all tan, and just get some replacement speakers), finish the exterior (the paint, front lip, maybe other wheels and suspension), and then start the swap. In the end I want a good SC daily driver. Slow and steady wins the race.

Small update, bumper is done drying and looks good. Should be done by the end of the week. Still waiting on the call back from Tire Rack about the hub rings.... Also saw a nice looking FC today, so another teaser of the old RX7 that I had, and of the 49 Chevy that I pulled out of the barn to start working on...
