Anyone want some wheels?

Will hook it up on tires if you need them, as well as custom powder coating if you want to try a wild finish!

i feel like the front needs to have the same alignment specs as the rears, so i have to get that realigned and then probably slip a 5mm or 10mm up front and it should be set. i'm also hoping that it'll drop the front down to the same height as the rear :D

you have a few options with that. camber, but i remember you said your bolts were seized, so fix those, or pull the quarters out a little more

you CAN pinpoint where it's rubbing?? or you CAN'T?? if you can, take a grinder to that mother ******* and grind it until it doesn't rub anymore! if you can't, go to a bump, stop with the wheel on the bump, and slide a credit card through there and see where it's touching. then take a grinder to that mother ******* and grind it until it doesn't rub anymore!
