Here is my only mod.
Konig Hotswaps. 18", 8" wide with a 40 ET. Bought them from a member here. 2 had curb. 2 were as new. 1 of the 2 curbed was warped beyond repair so replaced it. Tires are Avon M500. 225/35/ZR18. No rubbing at all. Smooth.It was 11C out today. The tires produce wheel hop - easy. I don't know if they'll improve with age or hotter temps or its that they are 35 s. If I can eliminate the wheel hop these 35 series WILL net a quicker et. These 35 s give it more lower end throttle response making you shift sooner than before in normal driving.
These tires drop the car by about 0.2" and add 0.2" to the already existing gap between the tire and fender. Perhaps my next mod will be a drop.

Nice to see a good looking EX. Wheels look great. Any issues with the bigger tire? What's the offset? I'm thinking about getting a different Enkei wheel for my EX, 17x7.

Thanks! The wheels are a 42 offset, and I still need to get the rings to cover up the lug nuts. I love the tires because they handle water very well. I don't really have any issues with rubbing, seems to only happen if I hit a large dip. They are perfect for me because this is my daily driver and the larger profile helps smooth out the ride.

As a side note, it's actually an LX!

Nice traklite's. How do you like them?. I was going to go with those in black with polished lip untill I changed my mind and went with some Enkei's. I like the traklite's cause of their weight.
