Default Got My New Tires And Wheels On
Well finally after 2yrs in my shed I got my Japanese Cup Replica's on that I got from Lart. I need to buy a spacer for the front due to the wheel offset I have 8mm in the front now that I will move to the rear once I get my 1.5in spacers in. Car seems to sit a little higher, my front coilovers are all the way down guess I need smaller springs Rear end looks higher than it is in the pic, at the top of the arch I can't even get 2 fingers in there to touch the top of the tire.

Rims:
Front- 17 x 8 ET 52
Rear- 17 x 9 ET 15

Tires:
Front- 225/45/17
Rear- 255/40/17

Wheels look very nice , similar to Cup 1's only better .

Why is your hood sitting higher than the fender line ?

Hood Lift supports, ever since I put them on it sits higher, take them off and hood sits even. I'm pretty positive the car was in an accident even though its not on the vehicle history.

thank you sir... The lip is a CPR V1 and is made of urethane, currently no longer in production but a good amount of listers purchased them during production.

Always seems to happen that way doesn't it? If you want one I wouldn't be shocked to see someone willing to sell one if you post in the forum.

In my experience, these cars take a day or so to settle back into their actual ride-height after being lifted. It's a weird phenomena, but both of them that I've owned have done it. Go drive it around for a bit and see if it sits lower.

My hood is exactly the same way. I wonder if my hood struts cause that issue.
