oh and start looking for some front camber arms - you wont regret it....I promise....
the man is stubborn...he wants his flush tires AND he wants to eat (through) them too!

I think I'm just gonna stick w/ 20s when I get my new wheels and get some stretched tires for the 20s.. I can't go back to being Tuck-enstein.. I've experienced the flushNiSS.. can't go back now.

T the only other option we have is to take off the spacers, add the camber arms to get you into spec if your way out then add a smaller spacer to get you close to flush as possible

^want contrast? Paint em obsidian black. Tire shined will get smudgy and look ghetto and wear off as soon as it rains and attract dust

Hmmmm.. We'll see.. I contacted Dick about pulling my fenders, he said he'd do it on Wednesday.. We'll see how that works first.. I love the spacers, it's hard to part w/ them.. It's just BARELY rubbing, I think a little pull would be all I needed.. You had it perfect w/ the roll you did when I had springs.. It's just that I'm a BIT lower now and it's just enough to rub.. So now I need a little more room back there.. He's going to modify my fender liners too, so I might be completely rub free by Wednesday.

Keep your fingers crossed.

eh.. I want'em painted.. They're just too ashy for me.. I think it'd look classier painted. Just one more touch of uniqueness.. hehehehehhee
