The land of commies and socialists!
18x10s are relatively easy. The rears just bolt on. The fronts you need an 8" spring if your running coilovers, a little fender rolling, and a decent amount of camber(probably -2 or more). This is an old pic of when I had 18x10" +22 with 285/30r18s. The car was basically just a MM max grip setup at that point.

I know about the 8 inch spring with coilovers. According to MM you can't do that with a full weight car because of coil bind especially on the street.

I'm trying to do this with a 10 inch spring, a small spacer and pulled fenders.

Additionally my car is an 03.

Depends on the spring rate and ride height. With soft springs.. yeah you're probably asking for trouble. I used to have 425lb 8" springs on the car when it had MM struts. I drove it on the street, autocross, jumped plenty of curbs at the track and never had an issue.

How are you controlling that? I assume your car doesn't run on a control pack, then?
Not a control pack. It is using a s197 copperhead pcm with a custom harness I made. The abs can work standalone but in my case its sharing data through a can bus that includes the pcm and dash/data logger. This way I can log brake pressure, individual wheel speeds, etc. and also use a scan tool for abs diagnostics and bleeding.

Is that the tiger racing hood? Any pics of it closed?
I believe it is, bought it secondhand. Fits terrible but its extremely light and helped drop the engine temps. I also installed a carbon tiger hood on my 2010. Bought that one new and while it fit better than this one I was pretty disappointed for a $2k hood.

Sorry to hear about the fitment issues. It looks pretty good though - nice and aggressive.

I hear you on the engine temps. I’m running a Griggs hood and the temps are lower than stock and even lower than when I was driving it with no hood at all.

I’m putting on a 3.3 blower and the Griggs hood won’t clear it without a hole cut out for the pulley. The TR hood was on my radar.
