I have 18x8.5 in front, with 235-40-18s and 18x9.5 in the rear with 265-35-18s.. I may end up on a 20 in the future..
hell yeah dude! looking good so far, what size wheel/tires are you going to go with. I just changed to an even smaller tire this morning actually lol 215/35/18
sorry for the photo taken from my instagram. but this is where i drive it on top and how i park it on bottom. with the new setup i mentioned above of course. rears are 19x10 with 225/35/19 so its double staggered or "diameter staggered" wheel setup.
Edit : this is a shitty picture i tried to take with my phone earlier at the tire shop for you. Ill try and take some better ones when i get a chance. they were really busy and i didnt want to be in the techs hair as he was changing my wheels and tires.

I think it would look pretty cool on a set of KMC Novas or Boss 335s... your car is badass by the way..

Trunk setup is clean man! thats something i need to address next actually I have my tank and comp all just on a board that i had used when mocking everything up. How did you mount the tank to the carpet? did you have to add MDF to the back of the trunk floor ? i know part of it is already stiff just that back half is loose flimsy fabric.

yeah they sit on a piece of 3/4 inch mdf that I put in there.. im very happy with the way the trunk turned out, and the compressors aren't too loud, I think with the back seat installed and some dyna mat on the rear seat panel you will barely hear them.. it gets good lift, but I am going to move the front shocks outward a little cause they are a little too close to the bags.. going to cut the shock mounting tabs off the lower control arms and weld on some different d tabs.. the local speed shop sells a lot of stock car stuff so I can get them cheap..
