interesting oil cooler setup. I think those wheels would be sick if they were 1 inch bigger at least but car still looks good.
Pictures of something a little different...

That they are. Except with more concave and 9 inches wide and +0 offset! I've never seen stock wheels on anything that come close to the awesomeness of the Starion SHP rears.
Did you get the off the shelf Stances or have them make short strokes for you?
Oh, and nice grape Faygo can :biglaugh:

Jealous! I guess I can't complain, I'll be hoarding 4 16x9 +0 and 2 16x8 -10 haha. I wish I could get 4 more x9s as spares though.
Damn that sits low... i'd love to drop mine like that but around here there's no way i'd be able to get around. Me personally I'm not a big fan of the external oil cooler, but to each there own.

Yeah, the fenders are rolled very flat. That's actually why I'm parked next to my friend's house with a floor jack and hammer in the background of the pictures haha

I'll trade the wheels for your BBK
What spring rates do you have for the Stances, and how do you like the ride so far?
Also, with the wheel specs, would those width & offsets fit that well with any wheel, or would it vary wheel to wheel? I'm not great with wheel fitment

Width/offset being the same should make wheels fit nearly identically. The only real variation might be how thick the rolled edge of the lip is, making the wheel poke out maybe 3mm haha. Tires are another story, a 225/50/r16 can vary wildly in width depending on manufacturer. BFGs are generally really wide for their size and Nittos are really narrow for example.
My Stances are just the factory spec 12k front 10k rear. I wanted to do 14k/12k but a lot of people advised against it so I went with Stance's stock rates to get a "baseline" to see if I want them stiffer or not. The ride is amazing, but the car compresses too much and scrapes on bumps... I wish I'd gone with even stiffer rates. I'll probably send the shocks in to be re-valved for something like 18k/14k when I get a chance to park the car for a while.

I haven't tried anything but full hard haha! Preloading the front springs seems to have helped a little.
haha, I'm on the hate side for the intercooler, but I love the stance of the car with the wheels, looks oldschool. :thumbsup:
I might go with 15k/13k which is the most I've been told I can go (told by THMotorsports who is Stance's midwest regional distributor) haha
You can do whatever you want, Stance will re-valve all 4 shocks if the spring rates change too much for the shocks. for something crazy cheap like $70!
