Also, are you running spacers? They look like they might be spaced out a little bit. Do you know if spacers are required or maybe only with aftermarket BBK?

Are you on coil overs? The car looks great!

mine are a 215/35/18 series with no spacers and i am slammed on coils. no rubbing or anything. im pretty sure they will clear any BBK with no spacers. the BBK i have fits stock 16's so i have nothing to worry about there.

you will need tuner bolts though...FYI.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I know about the tuner size holes in the wheels. I want black lugs so I'm going to order some lug-studs and Muteki black tuner lug nuts.

More TD Pro Race 1 pictures!

15" Team Dynamics Pro Race 1s. I had graphics made for the center caps and outer rim, with clear vinyl over them. I had the front end repainted by Scott of Central Coast Coopers. I'll add the black strips to the front soon to match the back. The car in the background is a really clean '95 Honda Hatchback Si with a lot of nice mods. It has 75,000 miles and I picked it up from a really good friend a few weeks ago.

Can someone please post pics of a MINI shod with 225x50-16s? I'm considering that alternative and would like to see how they fill the fender well.

I don't think those are Tenzo Mach-10's The center part doesnt look right. His rim is smoother...and the Tenzo Mach-10 red lip is thinner....

But, I dont think they are Volks either....HMMMMmmmmm

Lemme guess....Rota Force Time Attacks in 17x8?
