I might actually bring the front up on mine this week maybe about a quarter inch, I would suggest a 2 finger gap around all four corners, that's where my rear is at and my front is at about 1.5 fingers. Maybe just bring it up a little lower the Charles or right around there, it is beauty vs function and well you want to drive... Haha

Sounds good, looking forward to the videos in either direction... Haha!

I was reading your guys discussion...

Am I going to have problems with these rims and my tires? I'm running a 255/40 up front. I got the same offsets and sizing as Ilive2win.

you should be fine, it may rub a little if you are lowered a lot but you should be fine. what tires are you running?. i guess the nt05's run a little bit wider than others and im super low and it only rubs on canyon runs and lock to lock lol

phunk · 12-13-2010, 03:16 PM

i have 265 going up in front... better not rub!

ilive2win · 12-13-2010, 03:53 PM

SeeyaBud86 · 12-13-2010, 05:57 PM

I got the Hankook V12s. 255 up front 285 in back.

ilive2win · 12-13-2010, 06:38 PM

you shouldnt have any problem running the v12's in that size. there should be no/minimum rubbing and wouldnt worry about it. im just rubbing because im so low, which i will be fixing this week

Guess who else is getting SL's after seeing them on your car?

Well an opportunity presented itself and I can get a set by the end of this month! I don't want to wait haha...and I got lucky.

Thinking about getting the Shine Auto kit too. Sunline is too expensive for something I will scratch haha.

KaienZ34 · 12-18-2010, 08:15 AM

What size rear tires you going with ?? Like a 315 or wider maybe ???

TypeOne · 12-18-2010, 08:49 AM

Nice car but man, the rear is hella sunk... for rims that $$$ I'd want them to fit perfect without spacers.

SeeyaBud86 · 12-18-2010, 09:41 AM

Mine are on their way. I got a tracking number finally. Apparently they will be here the 24th. Great Xmas gift I guess
