Sometimes you have to wonder how these places stay in business. Either they didn't want to do the work because they were trying to go home, or they are just untrained monkey's. You were better off going to that other shop. I like you wheels too, btw!

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I really like it too. Very clean and OEM look, while getting rid of the AWD high stance as well.

Yes, but the problem was that you can still mount different width wheels depending on how much of a difference between the two.

The original place was a pain in the butt from the beginning, seemed like they didn't even want the business. I won't be going there again. Sears did such an amazing job, and took it very seriously. I spoke with the tech about everything for a while and he was extremely knowledgable and helpful. Said to come by in a few days so he can check the alignment again (free of course).

Now I just want to get rid of as much chrome as possible and get a Tanabe exhaust.

Love the setup you have. The 4gs fsport wheels are way nicer the the 3gs fsport.

EDIT

It also came to mind, how would you maintain proper tread wear ? Since the front and rear are different tire sizes, you won't be able to just simply rotate right ?
