Dion, I've always liked your car, you must have been one of the first on 18's huh? I remember your car from way back when I was looking at buying mine!Thanks. I've had my car for almost five years now (purchased new in May 97). I got those 18's back in March of 98, when Team Dynamics first arrived here. I believe I was the first to fit them, because everyone on the old mailing list said the wheels wouldn't fit....I had to prove everyone wrong. It was a 4x4 back then, but nobody had springs for that application at the time...so wheels went on and a stereo went in. My car got the first set if H&R springs in the country as well, as H&R didn't have a test car to fit them, so my car became the guinea pig, thanks to one of my buddy's at HRE wheels and John at SCA. Just to let you know, your car with Mirko's chin spoiler pushed me to get one a couple of weeks ago, I think your car is one of the cleanest one's I've ever seen.

this is good to know. i thought the gap might've been decreased somewhat by putting on a larger wheel which would go into the wheelwell more than the stock 16. good to know the suspension upgrade isn't exactly necessary right away for wheel upgrade.
...and yes, I did SEARCH first before asking.

The overall diameter is roughly the same as a stock SVT with the 205/55-16. I think it calculated out to about 2/10th's of an inch taller than stock.

... and since there is less tire sidewall to be seen, it makes the gap seem even bigger, hence the car looking a little jacked up.
Dion, thanks for the props man, this means a lot to me! Will I be seeing you at SZ? Make sure to update us with pics, I have yet to see a t-red with the Mirko splitter on, I bet it'll look very sweet.

No Spring Zing for me, too far, I'm out here on the left coast...now if you said it was in Las Vegas, that would be a different story.
