Today is the day. The wheels are in Houston and will be delivered late this afternoon/evening. Probably get the tires mounted tomorrow or Thursday, depending on weather. Supposed to be nasty here tomorrow.
 
Well, there's an issue and it kinda deflated all of my excitement. They sent me fox backspacing and I have SN length axles, so the rears stick out about a 1/2" past the outside of the fender. I'm going to have to buy fox axles now and then flip the caliper brackets, etc. etc.
It looks a lot worse than it really is here:

My annoyance is that I sent them all of these measurements and it seems like they saw fox body and just pulled out the generic stamp and let 'er rip.

Other than that, I love them. The fronts look great. Im going to get the tires mounted tomorrow and Ill post more photos.

DAMN that looks good! I do think they could tuck a bit more in the rear though, as I think you will rub over big bumps. When I eventually get my car back, I'm gonna have to get some wheels like that to really set it off!
