I love the fatter tire look, I just don't want to camber it out too much since I'm still a daily driver. Or I may just go back to a +42 and run a 275 semi on it,
Still need to install my Koni's which will drop mine a little as well.
Thanks man - what are the specs of your wheels w/out the spacers?? +42?

Mine were +40 but after some number crunching I plan on running with 15mm spacers on all four to bring me down to +25 w/265's on all four.

I daily mine too, believe it or not I just raise the car up a lil' bit. lol. But when the shows come around i'm back on the ground again lol

Super jelly - lovin' the look man.

Speedbumps n' crappy roads will forever be our enemies....just do what most people do when you see them...



....buy a daily driver lol

Sounds like you're gonna need to do some homework on your fitment.

Some pointers:

* Leave the dubs to american made cars. Go 19's if anything.
* No need to go staggered. You can run 10" wide on all four.
* OFFSET. That **** is to fitment like air is to living don't buy **** unless you know what it is.
* RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH. There's a difference between knowing and being spoon fed. Do your own homework n' make sure it fits...don't just 'hope' it will.

Tires

I'm on a $400 budget and i need two front tires. What do you guys recommend as winter is coming up, prefer all season tires, wont be snow (Georgia). Obviously I don't know much about tires but i don't want a "thick" looking tire.

1. Don't thread crap.

2. Research.

3. If you are only replacing the fronts and you have stock sized tires in the rear then you don't really have a choice as far as sizes go.

Nope, I actually think the stock wheels are pretty damn sweet. Post up in the Gulf forum and start a thread for El Paso people or just bump an old one.

I sort of miss mine at times.
