Thanks, I am planning on just leaving them. Since those pictures I have gone back and readjusted the ride height to 25-1/2" all the way around except for the left rear is 25-3/4" for some weird reason. The camber is only -1 degrees all the way around. I don’t notice any rubbing with these tires. Just swapped on my 18x9 ET 25 Team Dynamics wheels with 255/40/18 Blizzacks that I got from Euro and they do rub a little on big dips.

It is weird that you say that about the rear brake rotors. Initially I wanted to run my old Forgestar wheels with my Michelin PA3 235/40/18 tires but the wheels have a really sharp edge on the inside of the barrel of the wheel that hits the lip of the rear BBK rotor. I need like 8 mm spacers to push the wheel out enough to get clearance.

If he is stacking girls like that then I wouldn’t complain.

Lol. 3-4 girls equals 300-400 lbs. All it really takes is 100 lbs.

I’m not :wink:

Oh wow, you went with 8mm spacers? That lip on the rotor was keeping the wheel mating surface from sitting flush for me. If the diameter of it were increased a few millimeters it wouldn’t have been a problem. But when I measured it I thought I remember it being a 5mm tall lip so I would bet you could go to 5mm spacers if you wanted to.

Updated the Zadatech gauge unit install. Still have more to go but it is getting late.

That is a badass install Jimmy. I am always impressed by people brave enough to open up modern day instrument clusters etc. I know you more than have the skill, its just one of those parts that is not an easy fix if one connection gets broken.

Anyhow, I think that’s an awesome tool to use to monitor data. Thanks for the detailed writeup!

Thanks. The instrument cluster was actually pretty easy to open up. It is scary disconnecting the wiring though because they are really weak plastic. I have already had to replace instrument cluster once because my tach was way off. That sucked!

Ouhhhh slight widebody?

#935

More like really flared out fenders and quarter panels. The body shop is flaring them out as far as they can go and then smoothing out the imperfections.

#936

how much is that running you if you dont mind me asking?

#937

Exatly that would be cool to know how much that is. Leave it to jimmy to think and attempt something this cool
