Re: My '05 V - 5lug, racecar stance
i wasn't saying it was cold. i haven't worn a coat in a week.
i was saying that there's no reason for me to rush putting my summers on yet. i need a solid few hours to get them on the car and dial everything in anyway. they are probably not going to be a bolt on affair.

Tomorrow should be 70* by you...
Re: My '05 V - 5lug, racecar stance
and it's back in the 40s and raining? i'm not in a rush. i can't afford to be right now, we're moving out of our house this weekend.
Re: My '05 V - 5lug, racecar stance
So my Saturday was nice and ****ty. Everything went opposite of plan. I needed to feel like I accomplished something today so I test fit the wheels on one side.
I have about a paper thickness between the front calipers and the wheels and it actually rubbed slightly enough to tell it touched. I'll do a 3mm spacer all around and have a true offset of +30mm. I also need to bring the car down a half inch all around. Other than that I'm happy with how they sit. Pictures...

Re: My '05 V - Wheel test fit [check]
yeah, besides it rubbing the front calipers, that's why it went right back in the garage and the old wheels put back on. apparently i'm not ready.
Re: My '05 V - Wheel test fit [check]

Re: My '05 V - Wheel test fit [check]
this car was super, duper clean when i bought it. i'm messing it up by driving it in the winter.
Re: My '05 V - Wheel test fit [check]
Thats good, keep it that way.
Its hard to go back...I'm doing it right now, but in 3 weeks I will be there.
Re: My '05 V - Wheel test fit [check]
Wheels look great man. Like the gunmetal on silver
Re: My '05 V - Wheel test fit [check]
i decided to take tomorrow evening to drop the suspension another half inch and get the wheels on (and make sure the fenders are out of the way).
so the wheels will be officially on after tomorrow.

Any idea on the story behind that lowered big rig in the 2nd picture?
