Front wheels, tomorrow

Was lifting it from the rear hook, wouldn't go high enough, added a piece of wood ,
Still not high enough, added another piece of wood and I guess that was a bad idea
Because it didn't hold and fell

</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yeah my biggest fear with the rear is this; putting a piece of wood between the contact point of the floor jack and the tow hook to gain a bit more clearance. I did it once and I felt very unconfident to the point where I just decided to give up. It's a huge peace of mind to just jack up each side and place jack stands under each side.</p><p>Glad you're okay lol</p>

just got back from alignment, everything is in spec now except the front camber is off a little bit because they said there's no adjustment for it. Not sure if I want to look for upper control arms with adjustment or leave it as is

The rear doesn't scrape on 245/35 and the fenders are untouched.
I want to do 255/35 in the rear (9.5) so it won't be stretched
do you think it will be ok if I roll the fenders on the 255? I would hate to roll them and still rub

<p>You'll be fine. If anything, you could always dial in a tad more negative camber and realign.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Damn </p><p>Well at least it isn't noticeable. When I had my VIP Modulars installed at the Honda dealership they made a gouge that went through the paint about 4 inches long right near the lug nuts. </p><p>Who did your alignment?</p><p>Post full pictures!</p>

had the rear fenders rolled today at eastside but they did it by hand and it doesn't look pretty, just bought a roller a few minutes ago to see if i can make it look a little better

sorry for the bad pics

<p>Looks great!</p><p>There isn't much you can do about the rear fenders when rolling them. They will naturally fold out a bit near the part where the rear bumper connects. It happened to me </p>

Looking great! What mods did you have to do when you removed the roof rack? How did you cover up the gaps?

I'm glad the accident was minor and can be repaired fairly easily.

Knowing your past projects, the diffuser project has a ton of potential. Looking forward to seeing your progress on it!

It would not be up to your standards lol

I never got around to filling in the gaps once I finally installed it. It's still on my car this way haha but I'm fast now, so it doesn't bother me too much.
