Default The boat got new kicks

So it's been a couple weeks in the works but I was finally able to lower my car and get all parts to install my wheels as well. I also lucked out and through a pic on IG I was able to find a Think Design lip that will be installed soon. I am going to vinyl wrap some parts and trim pieces but still haven't decide all what. Better pics once that's done and lip is installed.

Also on the fence about tinting my windows. Kinda diggin the fish bowl look.

Shout out to LGSFS2012 on helping me with the wheels set up Onto the pics..

Before







After

























I'm lowered on RS-R Super Downs. Wheels are 20x9 +35 and 20x10.5 +45. Tires 245/35 and 275/30.

Couple things, I have scheduled to have my fenders rolled a little but also noticed my fronts hit the fender liner when I turn sharp. Anyone else experience this? Do you have to trim? I mean this is a setup a lot of people run and never heard of it happening so not sure...

Also, anyone know how to reset our TPMS. It does not give me an error but I get no readings yet.

Anyways...sorry for the long post. Hope you guys like it.

Haha right? Same here. Everything's good as far as the ride goes even with being staggered?

Honestly it rides like it used to in any mode. I think really the only thing that may have harmed the ride is the wheels not the springs. But it's still smooth and or stiff like it used to..lol

oh and got them from vendor on here, b2designs.

Yeah, like I said above, ride is still basically the same except I don't feel like I'm going to tip over when turning from it being so high lol. As for the staggered setup, I've seen many do it on AWD so I should be fine.

I was really on the fence about it but I think I'm going to have to give in and do it. My GF will be happy too as she has been buggin me to do it.

Nice ride. Quick question....those look like the Velgen VMB5's i'm interested in. They aren't forged, so i'm curious how much they weigh compared to stock. Did you notice much of a weight difference versus the stock F Sport setup?

Nice ride man. Wait till you tint the windows and black out the trim, you are going to go head over heels for her
I know I am
