At least the car doesn't shake or anything when driving with the spacers on. May downsize to 20mm all around. Not sure if I care for the amount of bottom wheel poke.
brutal man... they probably weren't torqueing to spec *** wads

Nah. Not even close. They were WAY past the 80lbs rating. I was standing on my breaker bar at one point. Will head to advanced auto parts or napa this weekend. Source out some new lugs and get a few spares. Wheels need to come off again anyways when the swifts go on. Have to re-torque the spacer lugs.

Some of these knuckle heads only use the impact to put the lugs on all the way. Makes me cringe.

I'm still cringing over having to do the front. The fact that a standard fitting 21mm socket was still stripping lugs is concerning.

Ignore the blurriness of the photos and the POS Civic Si I own in the background. My arms were dead.

Looks good to me, Lein. I bet you'll be happy with the way it looks after you install the Swifts. Good job, but sucks you're having problems with the lugs.

Yea. i'm sure a small drop will help out a lot. Some new wheels in next years budget are being planned. Thinking WEDs SAMM's or S-XX's.

I love the SA55M. They look great on the Z. You can find killer deals on wheels the week after Thanksgiving. That's when I got mine and I saved a ton of money.

Just like Kansas... no annual inspection (smog or otherwise), just


The KHP does get it's pound of flesh, if you bring in an out of state car. Then they want to 'inspect' the title and compare it to the vehicle...
