Drove it yesterday. No problems so far as long as your not moto crossing it youll be good. I wouldnt trust it on a turbo or headers, any thing else id try it!

Much needed cleaning...





Oh, and I got creative and did this. Not sure if I'll keep it, but it's just for fun.

Why thank you sir! Wheels are Kranze Er-m's by Weds 18x8.5 +25 after 10 mm spacer and 18x9.5 +28 after 10 mm spacer. Tires are nitto neogen's 215/40 and 225/40. I'm hoping to relip them one day, but we'll see

The amount of spacer you can run on stock studs depends on the wheels you're running. I put 5mm spacers on my rims but due to the design of the rim I had to run the studs that come with the 10mm spacers.
