Got these put on last week! The wheels are 18X9 bullits wrapped in Toyo Proxes TS1's 265X35X18 up front and 275X35X18 out back.

Pics were taken with a Canon G5, which I am still learning how to use.
 
Yea I have to keep it under control, I'm one supervision as it is :) I use zaino and 3M products with the PC.
 
Stl_GT,



That is on S W E E T ride! :bow :bow



Those wheels wrapped with some serious rubber look nasty! :xyxthumbs



How are you liking those Toyo Proxes TS1's? I have been looking at the TS1's as my next set of tires for my 7 series.



Again, that is one shiny stealth looking ride!



Cheers,
 
So far they have been great, nice and sticky. I have a set of DR for the track, but I hear the TS1 do pretty well there are well.



As for rain grip, I wouldn't know the car usuallyl dosen't see rain but they have gotten good marks in that department as well.
 
Yea I have been getting drop it a lot, but it's already dropped 1 1/2" with eibach springs and tokico illumina's. Must just be the angle or the shadows ???
 
Stl_GT,



I think part of it is that the lower profile tires give the illusion of a too-large fender gap. If you had 16's or 17's on there, it'd probably look more lowered, even at exactly the same ride height. And, you're probably right that the angle and shadows are making the fender gap look larger than it really is . . .

That may be true, the 275's with a 35 sidewall were said to give a stock ride height, but it still may be off a bit. I think it's more the shadow by looking at the first 2 pics you can tell the difference. Regardless :)
 
Yes it does, I have done other work though to make it hug the road better. I added springs and adjustable shocks/struts and also welded in sub frame connecters to give the body some more strength.
 
Yes it's a prokit, I really liked the drop. It was about an 1 1/2 up front and 1 1/4 in the rear. It low enough for me, I am not too keen on the slammed look or bottoming out all the time.
