Default New parts for my car should be in tomorrow [now with pics]

I'm excited and bored, so I'm posting.

Installed the new suspension last tuesday, KYB AGX struts with KGMM SuperSport springs. Drop is ~ 2.5" and it rides smooth, but still too much body roll. Going to something stiffer if sway bars don't clear it up.

Got these wheels ~ 6 months ago. 15x7.5 +35


New tires came in today, Hankook Ventus HR, 195/50/15

Spacers should be in tomorrow, and then I'll have the wheels on! The spacers are 1.25" or about 34mm, for an effective offset of ~0-1mm

And my engine was finished today, so I'll go pick that up tomorrow. Had it bored (0.25mm over), balanced, and the rods & pistons (Eagles & 9:1 SRPs) installed.

the style or the dirt? They are dusty :/ The style I love, ------ old school. I think they were made in the early 90's, so they should fit in well on the early 90's styling of my car.

Pics will show it. I might have to pull the fenders to get the tires under all the way

tires on wheels, spacers in hand, 21mm lugnuts do not fit in 23mm holes

My dad is bringing me some 19mm lugnuts, then it's picture time.

Engine is sitting in the passenger seat too.
