Got some new shoes!!

Decided to get rid of the RHs and upgrade to some quality wheels. Was worried that I could crack a rim riding at my height (seen picture on here).

Since I love the look of the staggerd. Went with some jdm Work wheels 8 and 9 inch. Just have to roll the rear a little more to prevent the rubbing on bigger bumps.

I still suck at taking pictures thou






















So what ya think?

Niiiice. Those pictures have potential, just need some more practice.

Try getting the whole car in the pics, like the one at the stop sign. That coulda been a nice picture.

yea, this pretty much is going to change my driving habits. No more lead foot on roads that I am unfamiliar with. But thankfully, around here the roads are in pretty good condition just a occasional severe bump. As long as you are paying attention, there is really no reason to be worried.

Today 1:36 AM
LIPPSTUH wuts the spec? they don't stick out as much as mine....

they are not as aggressive as yours because I want to go lower. Front are x8 w/48 and rear are x9 w/36.If I had gone closer to yours, then I think I would have more problems in the rear. I only want like a .5 neg camber which will maybe give me about another inch in the back. The front look like I might be able to tuck some of the tire they fit so nice
