good call. i didn't know they made 3mm spacers.

 

Congrats!

350 ftw

 

Just got a PM from a member with the same problem saying that a 5mm spacer still was not enough to clear calipers! is there a thinner caliper alternative?

 

Never mind, I just test fitted a 3mm spacer and it clears the calipers
I relocated the front fender tab, and shaved the rear fenders. I still have not rolled the front's but i took it out for a spin, and there was absolutely no rubbing at all! Very surprised since i have 9.5 +25 offset on the front.

I think all these rubbing issues are from ppl slammin their rides no gap is just fine for me back is a little sketchy though. I lightly rub over bumps, and I'm scared of bowing my rear fender. so i may get a camber kit for the rear. But no problems in the front.

 

I agree.. IT will work!!!!

 

That turned out sexy!!

 

Really nice IS man. Post pictures of the Civic's engine bay bro if you dont mind.

 

That looks good! But if you are having caliper issues you can put the wheel on without the spacer and see where it rubs and then take an angle grinder and grind off a little and then repaint them.

Also another trick you can take the wheels to a machine shop and they can lathe a small notch where the calipers meet. But none the less that looks really good, take some more pics of that bad boy

 

Thanks!



Thanks I would def do one of those options if a 3mm wouldn't clear, but i can deal with +3 more offfset i suppose.


I have not had my alignment done yet. i'm going to wait until after i get my camber kit. will i be able to get the toe close to stock or will i have to buy the toe arms to get toe close to stock?

 

Although it's to late. Should i have rolled my fenders instead of shaving them



here are some pics I took of me, and my brother's Tacoma

 

so after 12 weeks i finally got my wheels back from WheelFlip I had the rear wheels rebarrelled from a 10.5" down to a 9" The plan was to use them on the front with 225/35. i put them on and it doesn't clear calipers. the disk were different sizes that i was not aware of. so it completely messed up my plans.
so i just worked with what i had, and put the 9" on the rear with 245/35 and move the 9.5" up front with the 225/35 It ended up all working out. other then can't go as low as i would like in the front due to 9.5 wheels rubbing on the fender/bumper bolt even after relocating. I'm happy with how it turned out. Only thing i will change is using 225/35 on the rear wheels as well to get more lip.

 

Dang..I read that whole thing. That's crazy, I just bought an 06 sgm is350! Picking her up on saturday and I couldnt be more excited. I came from an 08 civic slammed on buddy club coils and camber arms with rpf1s. Welcome from a previous honda owner(:

 

Nice ride Low Life!

 

1000 hp civic? lol

 

So after all the you end up right where you were with the front. I take it they just changed the inner barrel in the rear 1inch short? I would of just left it at 10.5 cause if the changed the outer barrel you have a smaller lip than the front.
