Geordie personally putting on the center caps while lining them up to the logo on the wheels



Time to set it down and see what she sits like









We can’t have this, going to take her over to the alignment rack and dial in some negative camber for slammed effect





Bing (Verietk) helped me out by bringing the new wheels to the shop and taking my old wheels home for me. Glad to have him to hang out with while the boys at Butler took care of the car.



Let’s see what we have now after some adjustments









He made it so that the maxed out camber at lowest level slam would still track straight without issues. We were desperately trying to avoid toe issues.

Are you asking if he has spacers, or suggesting he put spacers on?

The ride is looking hot Tony!!! Always glad to be able to help out bro. Glad the guys at Butler were able to get the camber dialed in. Butler FTW!!!
