Default Little bit of teaser
So i have been a member here for couple months but no picture of my car. I'm still waiting to get my coilovers which I have been waiting for for over 4 weeks. This weekend I rolled the fenders and mounted the wheels to see how they would look. Only couple pictures for now since it still needs more work.
I love big dish wheels but need more tires for sure. never seen a stretched tire like this before. no protection for the wheels at all. lol


need more camber for sure. the ex wheel's owner pulled the hell out of his fender to make these fits, but i'm going to tuck it in with more camber and get wider tires. This is the max camber on stock camber bolt so I'll need rear camber kit. Anyone know how much camber we can run before needing the toe arm?
