What wheels, brakes and suspention are you using?
Susp and brakes are all topline, maxx struts and discs all around. Rims are (haven't ordered yet) fuchs replicas from wheelsandcaps.com, 16x8 10.6mm offset rear and 16x7 23.3mm offset front. (same backspacing of 112.2mm or 4.41" fr & rr) I have no idea if I'm going to need spacers or not but figured if I could sneak a wider tire in I would, since the EJ20 is going to need to traction.



These rims are made in china but I haven't heard anything bad about them yet. Best part is their price, for a daily driver that will most likely get some wheel scuffs I don't want to break the bank on wheels if I don't have to.
