Aggressive Wheels & Stretched Tires: Post 'Em Up! [[Some NSFW]]
^ I love you car as it is, but sometimes I look at it and wish it was laid out as fawk.
I still can't understand how the G is so hard to do right with 18s (19s and 20s being the easier norm) but 18s on HUGE luxury Japanese cars (LS, Qs, Ms etc) is soooo perfect and when you go 20s, they are actually too big for them.
Japan just doesn't make em like they use to!
Edit: BTW, anyone notice how Shyne runs this thread? Can we have this thread stickied and sponsored by Shyne Fitment Consulting? Ehhh Marcus?

If I did that then the "hellaunflush: offset isn't everything" guys would throw a fit.
came out pretty sweet after alignment, my guess was right as it came out to under -5.... so right now it's at -2.5 front and -4 rear... for now I can drive around with minimal rubbing, and when the coils are ready I can finally slam this bitch another inch and get this long process over with.
BTW, they tried pulling my rear fenders and since I had cut them a while back I ended up separating the inner fender lining from the outer fender, so it did not work, they basically they told me I would have to weld the inner fender sheet and the outer one together and only then could they do a clean pull. I feel so fckin stupid for ever cutting the fenders, and for what, like 3mm's of extra clearance, fckin idiot....
You guys think I should add a 10mm spacer up front to even out the rear or what ?

looks good man. i wouldnt bother with a spacer. any more poke up front once youre slammed and youre gonna bend your fenders up. rear is a little mexi-flush now but once youre on coils they should sit in there nice. youll wind up being over -5 degrees inc the end though
but yea, I saw them start with the pull and the guy basically said when he pushed outwards, the inside fender liner was separating and moving around independently from the outer fender. I could believe it cuz i was standing right there watching it and looked inside the fender saw my dumass handywork, I cut it real straight and clean but i separated the inner lining obviusly. And at the same time I think it can be done, because they managed a very slight like 3mm pull from it, they could have gone further, I think they just got annoyed at how slow it was going so gave up.
as far as coils they're on the Eastcoast shop right now being done with custom springs for 15k front and 12k rear rate, struts properly valved and all that..... and at the same time I'm just waiting for late January to hit then I can see if we are gonna have snowfall, if there is snow, I'm storing the car, if it continues to rain, coils are going on and car will be complete
and yea the front bumper it's just the angle of the pic and the camera is fcked too, it sits fairly low
