I think the bronze looks great with red.
Keep the good fitment photos and specs coming, I'll be very interested to see where you end up.

I have been considering 17x9.5 -5 all round with 235/40 or 225/45 for some time. Your new wheels are a great comparo for that.

17X9.5, -5 would be pretty much perfect for the rear I'm thinking. They'd clear the stock front suspension too, but might poke out a little too far. Both ends would definitely need guard rolling, and probably a little stretch on the tyres.

The 235/40's look pretyt good on the 9.5" rims, not as stretched as I was afraid they'd be.

Your car looks good with the right seats Zac, glad they arrived ok. Much better use for them in your car then sitting in my spare bedroom collecting dust. :beer

Today I swapped the suspension over on the cars, was actually quite a bit of work, I'm bloody knackered now.

Good new though, I reckon the red car looks awesome. When I first had the wheels on it with the stock suspension, I wasn't convinced they were the right choice, but now, they look kick-ass :).

The wheels still wouldn't fit the front, even with the coil-overs, and needed spacing out. This meant I had to roll the guards, which didn't go so well, paint wise. Will have to take it to a body shop to get it all fixed up. It's also WAY to low, needs to be raised about half an inch, 5mm machined off the rear spacers and 10mm off the front, and I think it'll be pretty much perfect :).

Glad I came over to see it in person! Looks so super sweet as is, pity you can't keep it like that :(

I would have to say I think is my favorite flat body Starion with those wheels and that color :beer

Cheers mate. Think of a way to make it driveable like that and I'll keep it that low :).

More pics with a still, but less, shit camera:

Shows fitment with 25mm spacers either end. Not quite touching in the rear, but too close and no room for suspension movement. Will machine spacer 5mm, roll goard and raise 1/2", should work hopefully.

Front guards are rolled now, but no room for suspension or steering. Will machine 10mm off spacer, raise 1/2" and go from there.

So are you going to keep on with the black one?

If you ask the other half, no, of course not, who needs two starions!?

Yes.
