yep, 15x8's up front 15x10's out back

10's, imo, are almost too wide. my friend is going to put a set of 15x10 -45ET all the way around on his ZX, and he's gonna need at least 205/55-15's (I wanna try to talk him into 195's) and alot of camber to fit. 9J is the perfect width for the fronts imo, nice amount of stretch available with a decent size tire still.

oh right on lol, thanks for letting me know ^.^ those are basically the same set up i just put up on order right now
Got myself some beefy 5stars, ar23s lol. got a discount at discount tires. so why not right? Anyways have you ever tried 2inch spacers before? i kinda might regret it lol but might not ^^.
you think 1.5inch piping is a little too small? idk if its gunna just have a rattling take off or not. ive tried it on the lexus ls400 tho, sounds tuned and clean but never tried it on a non v8, thought id might ask you.

1.5" exhaust piping?? stock is 2" don't downgrade foo!

2" spacers are alright just make sure your lugs are torqued to spec. (I'm running 1" up front with no problems *knock on wood*)

LOL yeah *knockonwood* oh so u have no problems with 2" piping? thats not bad lol, i really had to decrease the piping size on the lexus cause didnt want to crack it in san diego roads -_-, all it will ever scrape is.. frame lol. but thats cool though. i dont have to lose the power on the zx. lol.. i havent even started working on the motor yet >.> funny im worried bout my stance more then anything lols.

im hoping that the only thing wrong with the motor is the computer, lols *crosses fingers*

wished i could daily it easy in a place like vegas lol, roads are clean... its like heaven for the vip cars. =]

I've got 2.5" piping and I only scrape on the flange (and I think that's worn down so it doesn't scrape anymore) there's ALOT of room under the car for the exhaust.

no it won't. I like how EVERYONE thinks I'm going to be perma dragging this kit. it's not even aggressive and will be about the same height off the ground that the stock front parts are going to be.

stripped down:

put it on:


insert spoiler for maximum effect:


then the bolts holding this side of this thing broke off last night at the meat, made a nice scraping sound with my friend in the car lol

had to cut it off on the other side, bolts were too worn down lmao
nice layer of oil courtesy of my transmission that's trying to go out...
