What brand/model are those wheels? I like them. Can you tell me where you bought them and how much you paid? Thanks.

Not as baller as some of you guys but I've managed to strike the best balance I could between form and function.

19x8.5/9.5 +22 all around

After a lot of front and rear fender mods, I only rub on large dips at high speeds.

I'm so/so low. From the lip of my rim to the lip of my fender, there is a 2.5inch on the dot gap. I'm not ubber 'tucked' - as I don't really like that look.

I'll try to post some more pics in the future once I get my drop exactly where I want it. I'm still toying around with these new BC Coilovers right now... stay tuned.

Nice i would give it about 2 weeks before you can find your exact height. Did you set your settings hard all around to help it out?? lolz Pinky gap in the rears and front would be conservative enough. Any higher would be 4x4

No, I'm like half way between hard/soft. What does setting it fully hard to? Help settle em' quicker?

it makes the shocks stiffer...meaning you can ride a lower height and there will be less rebound on the shock so you dont rub when you're lower.


the higher your height, the softer the setting should be
the lower your height, the stiffer the setting should be
