New IForged wheels installed
First, big thanks to Danny and Limited Edition for the great price and great communication. Second, big thanks to IForged to making me these out-of-production wheels, making them very fast, and shipping them super-quick. Lastly, thanks to Kris and the guys at Mach III for mounting the tires and delivering them from SF to Sac! Really appreciate that.
Wheels are IForged Forza, 20x8.5 and 20x10, +25 offset all around. They are a 2-piece wheels, and the entire barrel is polished, even on the inside which looks great.
Tires are Hankook Ventus V12 Evo, 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. These tires are WAY wider than others I've had... so much so that it posed a problem...
My Saturday began with removing my bolt-on spacers left over from my last rims, so the car was on jackstands until my wheels+tires got delivered. Once they arrived, I promptly mounted them. When I finally lowered the car, it was apparent that there was going to be nasty rubbage in the rear. Just as an asside, I calculated my last wheels - 20mm spacers to be roughly +25, so that's what I was aiming for. If the tires weren't so god-awful wide, it probably would have been no problem.
I drove the car over a swale in the street and heard loud prolonged rubbing noises from both sides. My dilemma was as follows:
Do I get stretched tires, or raise the car and camber more. At this point, I didn't want to spend any more money, and it was late in the day, so I elected to raise the rear and camber more.
Raising would have been simple if I had the coilover adjusting collar wrenches with me at the shop... no dice. So we proceeded to induce MAD camber in the rear while keeping toe somewhat in check just to be able to drive the car to my garage where we could work on it some more...
This is where we were... and it STILL RUBBED... though just on big bumps.
Once we got to my place and adjusted the rear height, it was looking a LOT better. After playing with the camber and toe to dial it in, here's where it sits in the rear.
Now here are some pics of the face of the wheels.
These are some HDR pics that Pat took on Sunday.
Lastly... as I was toiling away, and working my *** off under my car, here's what Rusty and David drew on my dirty rear bumper...
Hope that story wasn't too long-winded, and hope you enjoy!
