sorry for being lazy and not wanting to look through 13 pages for tire sizes. I have 18X11 at -22 rear and right now running some bo bo 255 40 tires on them. What is your rim width and the tire size you went with?

Very nicely done Sir Very nicely done!

Hmm for the next set of tires couldnt hurt to look into 245/35/19 after the allignment tomorrow , we'll see how the car sits after and look into tires

Thanks for checking back ShaneC ! I'll be calling you up tomorrow aswell to find out where to meet up and drop off the fender roller , and arm funds

sounds good. i dont think u need a alignment. eye ball is good enough. kinda pointless to get an alignment. cause camber will stay the same. they will only align the rear toe. just eyeball it and drive it around and see if it pulls.

what i did was leave the toe adjustment kinda loose, put wheels on, put car on the ground, and spin the rod till the toe looked straight and test drive realquick. then remember to tighten the toe adjustment after. drive it on freeway and check for bump steer. if non.. youre good. !!
