Well after all the bull**** that arose getting these wheels installed in the space of two months I finally got them on today.

The garage opened at 2:30pm but i couldnt sleep past 7am though it was the weekend. Needless to say a bit of praying and some friendly techs made it all possible in the end. The car is dirty now from transporting the old wheels to my buddies place so pics in high res will be up in a few hours.

Here are some teasers of the wheel and of course the PITA stock vs aftermarket bolts.

I am now running Work VSXX 19" burning gold with 19 x 8.5 +42 offset on O disc (2inch lip). The O disc is the reason I needed H&R 5mm spacers with longer bolts. The front wheels were touching the calipers before the spacer install.

Tires are PS2 245/40/19 and I am not lowered. There is like a 1inch gap now so I dont think I want to touch the suspension. I did get an alignment done as i needed it and will post the before/after alignment scan up too.

A big thanks for help and information to redlude97, Gdup35sedan, ttrank Jason @ Riverside (for the killer deal and shipping on the spacers), (>")> G35, dahkyne, bert039, heyitzalex, perryo5g35, hksjza70 , , , dunglan7, skeleton_cru and anyone else (though im sure i got all of you ).

Way tired now - no breakfast or lunch - pics later.

Thanks everyon.

 

congratulations!

now... time to cleanup and shoot. let's see the wheels when the car's on the ground

 

watched your thread for a while. Glad you finally got what you wanted.. Thats great !!!!! CONGRATS.

 

Congrats!!!

Can't wait to see the pics.

 

i got $20 on you dropping your car within the next 6 months, the mod bug don't stop biting my friend

 

looks good cant wait for more pics

 

you're right about the bug. I was driving home thinking of the next cosmetic mod which will be a roof spoiler and front grill.

I was thinking about dropping it as well but after all this hassle with spacers/bolts etc it will be a few months before the drop.

 

what was so hard about changing the wheels studs?

 

Glad you finally got things worked out Clint.......BUT!

 

yeah congrats! but i want to see some pics!

 

good stuff! lets see them

 

sorry couldn't get up pics. its 11pm here and i have a splitting headache from being out almost all afternoon. Im taking the car for a full clean tomorrow so then this thread wont be worthless after all

Well its wasn't hard but you have to be careful not to hammer too hard to take out the old studs. Use a rubber mallet and DO NOT let the caliper hand by the brake line. We used old boxes to lay the caliper on.

Another reason I found it hard is cuz my car is under warranty and the dealer is **** enough not to fix any mods on. so having a non-dealer (though reputed) work on my wheel bolts esp was nervous for me.

Its all good though.

 

congrats cant wait to see more pics

 

glad to hear you finally got them on Clint, cant wait to see full car pics!
-GP-

 

Well I am off to the car wash now

I took some camera shots of my alignment papers. I hope they did the right alignment. There are before and after shots.
