I guess 15/25 shouldn't look too far off :
Honestly, I doubt you will be able to tell the difference between 20/15mm up front...the difference is so subtle. I have been running H&R 15/25mm on all my previous cars(with fender flares), imho the outside perimeter of the tires always looked perfectly flush with the fender

Seems like winter is finally over so I decided to drop off the 50i's Style 333 wheels to be repaired due to corroding around the center cap and some minor curb rash along with a new set of Bridgestone dueler hp's installed...As for the M, I'm having the Pirellis mounted on the new BBS SV's, hopefully I can mount them tomorrow after work...a few more mods still need to be installed

I finally mounted the BBS SV's today along with the H&R spacers(15mm front 25mm rear) took a few crappy iPhone pics for now... I will take proper pics when I get a chance...

I agree with Kimo def needs a drop, still going with KWs?
Not sure if I'm feeling the red caps yet (they will probably grow on me) I went with black, only if I could find mcb I assume caps can be painted

Thanks, I was thinking the same thing after I finished mounting them, red calipers would look much better...I may give the H&R lowering springs a try before getting the KW's

Thanks, I'm sure I'll eventually get a set of KW's at some point...I went with the red caps for a little contrast to break up the black n blue

Lowering the truck is inevitable, since mounting the 22's the truck seems noticeably higher
