Default *PICS* Installed DF210 + Weds Kranze Borphes Wheels

UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 3

Thanks Passnu2 for the advise on installing the springs..

The picture was taken literally right after the install was done. The car has settled alot more now and is lower now with like a pinky wheel gap..

I need to get the fenders cut because it is rub central!

looking very nice!!! I think the offsets have been pushed . I am not surprised you are rubbing. What tire sizes are you running ?? Look like a 265/30 rear tires with 245/30 front

wow that turned out good.

Make sure you take off that strip that follows the fender line. I came very close to destroying my tire with that thing. Once you take it off there should be anything that can damage or puncture the tire but I wouldnt wait too long just to play it safe.
