Default ***Wheels arrived today!!!***

They're finally here, after looooooooooooooooooong wait! The wheels are American Racing TT IIs in size 10x20 back and 8x20 front. I tried the front wheel on since the front end was sitting on the jacks with out wheels. Man these wheels are mental!!! The clearence between the brake caliber and the rim is huge, I NEED BIGGER BRAKES!!!
I saved my main concern about the rear wheel clearence for tomorrow, the rear wheels are with 5.5" Back spacing and I'm positive that they'll hit the sway bar and maybe the frame in front as well, I'll let you guys know tomorrow how it turned out!
I found the right tires as well, I'm going to run 255/35 and 285/30 Yokohamas.
That's all for now, just had to share this with you guys! :cheers:

Unfortunetly I'm not equipped with digital camera so you guys have to wait 'til I get the photos developed and scanned, since I'm currently in Finland and my scanner is in London this can take few weeks! Patience! :lol: :yesnod:
