looks siiick. this baby needs a little bit of a drop to close up some of that wheel well in my opinion. looks awesome though! im torn between bronze, gold, or black 20x7.5" on my kiwi ex-p. only after i get it two toned though:D

I really like the rim and E color combination. I think you need to drop it a smidge though. Otherwise, it looks perfect....

hahah.. thanks guys!

i don't have plans for much more. im tinting the fronts to match the back. i installed a hitch already, but debating if i want to pay for the OEM 07 harness, or wire up my own with a converter.

other than that... im undecided about lowering. ive owned lowered cars all my life, and for once, its nice driving something you don't have to worry about every little bump. actually ive been testing my luck and hitting dips and bumps faster and faster.. lol

so to sum it up. my mods to list.
20's
OEM mud flaps.
AVS bug shield.
window visors.
brake light flasher (3 blinks then solid)
LED interior, and lic. plate lights.
1 1/4" hitch.

only thing else im looking forward to, is an aftermarket intake. (MAF sensor for 07's) and i want to bend the tail pipe to behind the R-R wheel. i hate the way it looks going straight back.

oh yeah, one other mod that i will be looking forward to in the VERY near future is a TSX/S2000 HID retro.

coming from owning a TSX, ive had a taste of the good life as far as night time driving. now i must have it again.

Built B16A, I had to do a double take on your Avatar. I thought it was Kirk Franklin for a second. Can the church say Amen?

Looks more like a DMX album cover to me!
...............................:lol::lol:......... ..

Built I can see you point on not doing the drop...if you like the ground clearance....maybe more tire to fill up the wheel well tho.

The black with the color you have looks good...keep up the good work!

yeah, thanks guys. i asked alot of questions before buying my wheels and tires. my end result is not lowering the car. im simply in love with ground clearance. but yeah, i might be looking into some 245/45 tires soon.

other than that.. tire and wheel specs are.

20X7.5 +35 offset
245/40/20

now i have another set of black 20's at home also, but they're +40 offset and 8.5" wide. so they would be tucked in alittle more, and they're also wider! but after looking at the wheels on my car now, the 7.5's, i have plenty of room inside the wheel, so i shouldn't have a problem.

and the Avatar.. lol, im not a fan of 50 CENT, and im from the westcoast, so i follow westcoast music more.. thats "The Game" Jayceon Taylor holding his pink canary diamond chain in his mouth.

from his first album being signed in partnership with G Unit, and interscope, after the short feud, and breakup, he was cut from the label, and signed into a subsidiary label under aftermath/interscope and did as many sales as the 1st album.

so over here, its blackwallstreet. :D

Hey yeah that is the Game...didn't recognize him with the bling covering up some of his face....figured it was your self pic.

I have the same off set on mine +35 but mine are 8.5 wide. With the 40 offset you might want to check your turning radius in the front to see if they're going to rub on the strut...but even if it does it might not be a big deal.

If you put them on...make sure to post another pic so we can see them...I an think the 245/45 would look better.

good to hear. yeah, the 8.5" isnt' all that much bigger. its half an inch on both sides... so if your running +35's, and i have +40's, thats 5MM.. can't be a problem. but i will prolly roll with some 45's this time around, and that might come into a rubbing problem, but im hopeing only in the last 90% of my turning radius. i doubt driving straight down the road.

No driving around normal driving I don't see you having a problem...like you said only possibly when you're turning the wheel all the way to the R or L....and I doubt you'll have any problems hitting big bumps either....espically since you're leaving the suspension at stock height.

I have an 03' SSM with big beefy tires 275/70/16 and have not troubles with them rubbing either with it as stock height, so you should be good. :D
