I got my mind changed now cause it was too much fuckin around. But it was a Work Emotion 18x9.5 +23 with a 265/35 tire either BF Sport Comp 2 or Hankook V12 tires.

+23 is the issue. Roll/pull and camber to make it work.
A +38 in that size would work with little to no adjustments, stock height.

Yea looking at a different wheel now that is 18x9.5 with a +38. Im about a 1 1/2 inch lower so I expect to do a little fender roll

You definitely will need a roll at that height

How about putting on aftermarket fenders? You don't have to go super huge or anything, but it will accomadate those wheels and IMO gives the car a pseudo-widebody look. If I had gone larger on the wheels, I'd have gone that route.

I was looking at the HT Autos fender flares. It would def be different. I will look into this further and give it some thought. Thanks for the advice!

My turbo came in last night!!! Its sooo pretty lol the only problem I had was that UPS left the package on my door step in the middle of a blizzard.. But all seems well.


Well here is the box it came in and after I dried it off a bit.

Once I opened the box. Was packed very well! I'm pretty sure the Styrofoam was made to fit the turbo lol

The upipe to turbo gasket, downpipe to turbo gasket and my AVCS oil feed line

and now for a few angles of the turbo..

Test fitted my Blue PTP turbo blanket last night. I think it will do the job and look pretty good while doing so.
