Updates
 

Another item arrived this morning, cant wait to get them installed :tup:

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6058/...8f2665cb_z.jpg

With that said, i'm going to install these around next week the latest :tup:

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6054/...2ee0286a_z.jpg

As for now, i'm just waiting for the UAM's lip kit as there's a bit of problems and delays with them..:shakes head::mad:

I absolutely love this shot!

Thanks!:tup:

Oh man cutting the stock lugs would be beyond me, I'd have to get new legs if I took off the spacers later and got different wheels. Do the v2 spacers have built in legs or not?

Question, what kind of tires did you get to replace the stockers?

Yeah dude i've got no choice, but luckily there's no issues since. As of the spacers, both of them have built in legs.

RE11:tup: 265/35/19 fronts and 285/35/19 rears
