stretching tires is bad! It'll kill you.

having fatty tires in the rear.. i just said eff it and drove on them with massive neg camber when i first bought these wheels.. then the time came whenn....

KAABOOM~

gave me an excuse to buy new tires..



bought new tire for all four.

have 215/35/18 up front and 225/35/18 on rear.

currently, its 18x8 +27(thats with 10mm spacer) and 18x9 +35.
Picked up myself a set of Function Form and voila!~ also took off my lower brace.



probably post more pics tonight.

~2.7" of thread left on the coilovers. low profile race jack BARELY fits under.
