The black wheels look right on the car. Looking forward to seeing your build. If I'm reading the catalogue correctly the 7" fronts have a 40 offset. The offset up front on 7" wheels is typically 55mm, so I'm guessing 15mm spacers will do nicely. At that width you can find spacers with built in studs, and keep it simple.

Your car looks awesome foxman! What % is your window tint? I've been thinking of tinting mine as I get sunburned every time I drive and go home redder than my car Haha!

Dingo,
If you haven’t got keyless entry, then a Tore T-Lock is a must. A T-Lock saves your key mechanism, and makes for an easy entry and lock on departure.

hey foxman! Yeah I knew from the moment I bought it how I wanted it to look. Thanks, I have so many ideas just not enough money! Yeah the front have 40 offset, I have ordered a 3mm spacer to clear the calipers as it's pretty tight! And I may need to put a bit of camber on the front when I lower it. It's not quite the right offset but it's not bad. I thought that too but I'm pretty sure using a 3mm spacer on a 40 offset I'll end up with a 37mm offset? I could be wrong

Highly recommend getting on amazon and getting the caliper paint. Best 20$ you will spend. Fun, relaxing project.

You're absolutely right Dingo, my late night error. Spacers will push the wheels further out, thereby decreasing the offset. It's a good thing that your wheels are only 7" wide up front,
Yeah I'm glad they are only 7" will be interesting when I lower the car.
Thanks, the prior owner tinted the windows for the harsh Florida sun. I don't know the precise tint, but it is quite dark. It Looks a bit out of place now that the car is in New England, but it's part of the car's persona now.

Removed the engine insulation pad today, i think it looks great, Adds a bit of colour to the engine bay. Went for a drive around the block and didnt really notice much difference in noise. Will cutt the studs off tomorrow to finish the job.
