Default My to do list...

All this needs to be done by the time college starts in the fall. I think i have my work cut out for me
-roll fenders (full roll in front, medium roll in rear)
-get some rubber
-paint front and rear bumper, and passenger sideskirt
-lower the car for spring set-up
-fix exhaust leak
-debadge trunk
Anyways here is my test fit on some mb battles (18x9.5 +15) and a pic with my brothers cr-kais. I apoligize for the terrible offset on the emotions lol hellafail Also i will be getting rays black extended lugs not the blue ones shown.

18x9.5+15 fits no problem

AJ, Ill Roller runs Cr-kai's in that size.

you can easily make them work. you actually need a full roll in the rear and a mild roll in the front.

lmk if you need help. i have a fender roller :-)

btw i didnt call u bout the exhaust fix this weekend cuz i pretty much passed out everyday due to working 65+ hour weeks

btw why would you ever raise your car. i did a nice job lowering it lol. remember coilovers only go down. they are not meant to go back up. lol

My bad, I noticed you mentioned a spring setup.

W/ your MB's ( ihave them in those sizes too at 17's though), you will need more than a spring/damper setup to get them to look like more than a ghetto mexi poked car.

Coilovers will do right. Megans are good and cheap, but IMO, I think the SC's are too heavy for that particular setup. Stance w/ a helper spring seems to hold up better to the abuse, however I can't confirm this because I have no first hand experience. Just hear say from users!

Good luck man, I love you car. ( :

Yeah im definitly gonna need your help. I planned on using a baseball bat and some hammers but the fender roller is ideal

No worries, just give me a call whenever you have the time. No rush.

Yeah you can add me to the list of stupid kids who thought the wheels gap would help for winter. Save your breath though, i have already been yelled at lol I learned my lesson.
