Nice dude, stance looks great, not feeling the lights though, my only suggestions paint the waterfall balck or get an eggcrate grab yourself an R or XC bumper. Is she turbo or NA and auto or manual?

she looks clean man. i really love the shape of the s70 its just so gorgeous.
i like the rims on the car. i was a bit skeptical on what they would look like.

get a bigger spacer on the rear. we can fit up to 10's without spacers.

Looks decent... needs a lot lower though. It almost seems with that wheel/tire combo that it doesn't look lowered... what size tires are those?

You two should compare height measurements :P


But seriously....lower it more. I like those wheels on the car but they need better fitment.

Did he make you buy the tires at gunpoint? You could've turned the 'deal' down.

No, they looked fine, but when I went to take them to get mounted and balanced. There were pinholes in the sidewall... unfortunately, something that cannot be fixed. Just shit out of luck at that point.

I DO MIND YOU ASKING! HOW DARE YOU?!

JK. I'm on D2's, rears are almost as low as possible. Gonna remove the rear collars once I get properly sized tires. The fronts are still about 3/4 an inch from the bottom without messing with shorter springs or adjusting too much.

205/50 in the rear, and wheels with an offset of 49... if I had 10-15mm spacers I would take them out, but right now on small turns it rubs on the inside of the wheel well.

that inside well is the killer cause you can't really mod it :glare: :glare:

if i had a set of spacers i'd gladly send them your way.
