Great pics, and great looking set up man.

I'm one of the minority around here that prefers the look of a good set of 18's vs. 19's or 20's. I like to see just enough meat there...Great stance.

 

Thanks

Oddly enough though, this set rides a bit rougher than the 19s (same tire brand). I chalk it up to either being fairly new or because the 18s are about 3lbs heavier.

At least there's more pothole insurance

 

could you post your pics here too

Sure thing! Thanks for the note.

 

Damn, thats nice.

 

Mike, where'd you pick these up? I'd made up my mind on Five S5:f but now you've got me on the fence again.

 

TireRack had them on sale for $199 each.

 

Thanks! Now I just have to find my way off this fence.

 

Great shots as always Mike. Diggin the new more practical set up.

 

Josh - no problem.

Jason - Thanks, as always.

 

The extra weight makes the 18's ride harder? I haven't heard that before. Isn't it the rubber between you and the road that determines most of that? Never really thought of weight being a factor before..hmmmmm..

 

look's great, lovin' the meaty tires

 

You mind sharing how you rerouted the brake line so it wouldn't rub? I'm thinking of going for a 19x9.5 +35. I'm also concerned that the extra 3mm (~tenth of an inch) will make it poke out. Was yours perfectly flush and did you run stock camber?

 

I adjusted the angle of how they came out of the Akebono calipers and moved the location where it was held on by the bracket. Take note this is for an aftermarket SS-braided line which came with only one bracket and lines that were too long (and since been rectified by the manufacturer.) You should have no problem with it on the OEM set-up.

3mm will be hardly noticeable. Until i fixed the issue with this and the rub at full lock on the driver side with the Eibach sways set to lowest stiffness, i had a 5mm spacer.

Camber is just out of spec, which could be the reasons for the rub as well.

 

What's rubbing on what at full lock?
