Nice pictures!
Test fit my winter wheels/tires today...freakin PUMPED to get some snow now!! hahaha
These tires are a little over an inch taller than the summer setup, so I was worried that the rear was going to be too low for them. But, with the difference in offset between the wheels, it was enough to give me PLENTY of room.

I don't want to roll. No offense to you or anyone else who's done it, but all the roll jobs I've seen look like total s***, and I don't want to jack my quarters up like that. lol I'd rather work at finding the right wheel/tire setup to where I didn't need to roll.
And I say plenty because there's actually a tad more room compared to my summer setup. If the summer setup didn't rub, then these will for sure be fine.
Patience is required in a roll. I helped Jess do all 4 fenders on her 2 and it came out quite well. But... if not needed, then why put forth the effort, right? It's just asking for a place to start rusting if you don't prep the inside of the fender too.
Exactly.
I might be looking for a new setup come spring time too. I don't like how low the rear is compared to the front. The car is just on it's original (probably) struts and some knock off lowering springs. I'll have to keep an eye out for used springs though, cause a new Tokico/Tein setup is well over $600...little bit more and I could have coil overs!

Yeah, it's all for the MSP, which means it sits right. Here's where the problems occur: If you use P5 springs with MSP struts.
If you use MSP springs with MSP struts, and put them on a sedan or P5, all is well. Sedan and P5 bits are the same.

If it's an even up swap, then I'll take them for sure and just see what the stance is like after the fact. It just made more sense to have Evan's old p5 setup on my p5, and a MSP setup on a sedan. That doesn't concern you though, Kevin and I can figure that out if he's interested.
