If you are getting 315's that's great, I would lose the spacers. The side view looks like the car is doing a bit of a nose dive, with the rear bumper/clearance quite a bit higher than the front clearance. Finally I would lose the roof rails or go with black M sport rails.
Okay now for the positive.  Like that front end. It's massive but makes the car look really agressive! Not too sure on the rear bumper though. Also like the wheels. Nice to see something different from the 214 and 215's that everyone has! The black kidney grill is a nice touch. I would maybe throw on carbon fibre roundels to complete the look. All in all, nice job!  |
The side skirts are painted space gray to match. Better pics to follow tomorrow; gotta get the big camera out for that. The bumper reflectors were an oversight; painted reflectors on the way next week.
285's are by no means puny (unless compared to stock 315's). I don't have spacers on mine; the wheels have been custom made to fit the vehicle with offsets to my specifications to put them right at the fenders. They are forged, one-piece wheels. The assembly weighs 6 lbs less than the stock 20" wheels and tires the replace. Yes they are slightly taller than stock, but I wasn't going to run 265's all around, as that would look stupid.
I also have to adjust the rear a little; it seems to have raised itself slightly over the past few weeks. Need to adjust the rear links.
