    19x10+35 most likely will rub in the rear on the inside especially w/ negative camber.

    You didnt mention what type of grille... IMO the Old style Optional grille would "fit the bill" for ur build. If you decide not to go with ur front bumper the VRG front bumper with the the VRG lip would give a good VIP look as well...

    this is my current setup. and space to work with


    The front specs



    The rear specs


    This is the final choice wheel everyone.

    i wish it was a 20" but oh well i guess i will have to do more cutting

    I see ur point. Well I vote for the Old Style optional grille with ur bumper and the mystery lip aka the Lancer Ralliart lip.

    I like the rims you selected, nice choice did you already contacted the company to buy them? And IMHO, i know you want to be different and all but I'm not feeling the black widow bumper, I know VRG is the same as the other galant but maybe VRG and adding a custom lip or bmw bumper of the other galant or something else.

    I'm already hyped to see the end results and about all the VIP style thing, I wish I could bag my G but damn I can't pay the $900 for coilovers, I definitely can't bag it. How much is your air ride system going to cost you? and from where are you buying it?

    Also can you give me the link for that calculator you use?

    i have my doubts about making the black widow work but its worth a try to be different if it looks too bad i'll go ahead and follow the crowd

    as far as the air ride im going to end up paying well over 4k (all together) since i bought the cheaper airbagit kit that i have had nothing but problems with so im going to replase it with the easystreet kit i shoulda bought the first time for around $2500 iirc

    oh and
