Alan’s 550i
January 8th, 2010 by john
Our good friend Alan, has been coming to CTO for a while now. Changing various setups on a couple pairs of wheels that he has. He came to us for some help on a track setup that would be reasonable for him to drive as a daily as well. He started off with Large Rotora brake kit and was having a difficult time finding a wheel that will give him enough clearance to do something semi aggressive.
First things first, in order for him to have the right stance in which he wanted, we installed a KW Variant 3 coil over kit to improve his handling around the track. It also will allow us to set a nice aggressive stance on the vehicle with the new wheel setup.

After some advice, Alan wanted a light wheel that will still look great, be strong, and have enough clearance for the Rotor brake system to clear. This is what we came up with! Volk VR. G2 in Formula Silver. Sized very aggressively they are 20×9.0 and 20×10 with Yokohama Advan Sports in 245/30R20 and 295/25R20.

The combo came out great, just what Alan was looking for. Really great stance and performance now!
Fitment is so close! We had to do a little fender trimming to get everything to fit perfectly flush while still be able to clear without any rubbing issues. Thanks Alan for bringing your car to CTO!

Archie’s EvoX on CE28N Formula Silver
March 11th, 2009 by john
For many that have asked what the Formula Silver looks like…. Here it is! Archie’s Evo on 19×10.5 CE28N wrapped with Falken FK452’s 275/35R19 all the way around. Took some work to get the fitment right. Fender work and making adjustments inside the wheel well, were minimal work compared to how beautiful it sits now!
Once the coilovers settled in, he had Luis (The one with the White STI with Gold SSR wheels) take some hot shots of the whip. Nice aggressive stance that most Evo owners would be proud of!
And of course… the rolling shots. Archie has been looking to get more exposure of his car, so for you Car Mag people… Hit us up anytime if you want this sick Evo on any publication or website.
