yeah but it use to have big places missing paint and I had it painted cheap and he done it without the car. The paint was so good I didn't worry about it but I'll eventually have the whole front done.[/QUOTE]
Looks awesome anyways. Keep it clean like that bro

New pics look great man! How much are you lowered? Are they still the 215's that came with the rims? What tires are they? If so the stretch looks very minimal compared to pics that I have seen on tyrestretch.com.
Makes me want to run 215's up front on 9.5" and 225 in the rear for 10.5" with my setup. However, pics on tyrestretch for those 2 widths look like a little too much stretch for my taste.

Thanks! and I appreciate you updating my thread title!
I believe I'm dropped about ~2.5" or 2.25" in those photos. I recently went another .25" in the front and about .5" in the rear. I'm still on the 215's, they are nankang tires. the stretch maybe slightly more than it appears in the photo, but I really want to try a 225 for traction reasons. My buddies love look of the 215's though.
Thanks! I wouldn't mind to have a WDP or a NBP though, but AM is a good in between and I love it.
Thanks man! Hopefully I can keep it goin.

Yeah I figure I'm going to have to be around the 2.25-2.5" drop to make these look good. Probably going to stick to the 225,235 as well.
You think with the 225's you'll have any issues with rubbing? Do you use a camber kit in either the front or rear?

Well 06tl4life is running Varrstoen's 18x9.5 +22, I believe, and he has the 225 and I don't think he has any rubbing issues and he is as low as I am. I just have natural camber up front and the ingalls in the rear. My ingalls are brought nearly all the way in, so there is hardly no camber. The alignment shop forgot to print the sheet out so I don't have the spec's, I just know what they told me.

Ok sweet! Yeah I don't have a kit up front was was hoping to avoid having to buy one unless it was necessary. I have a rear kit so I should be golden back there even with a 10.5" rim and 235 tire. Thanks for the info. If you ever get the print out from the shop, let me know what your camber is at all around.

Nice new pics. I know I asked you your drop before, but if you get a chance when parked on a level surface, could you measure the distance from ground to fender in the front and rear? Thanks!

I was able to measure it after I got off work. To my surprise it was 23 3/4" at all 4 corners, which my fronts were slammed on my ISC's. Although I did install some F&F's up front last night and the fronts measure 22 1/4" which was tuckin all of the tire. It was crazy low, I literally couldn't drive it because I couldn't turn. I'm gonna do some more adjusting.
I did some more lowering today myself with my stock wheels on and I'm right around 24" up front with my ISC's. When I measured the coils there was only about 1.5" more the threads could come down. And yeah at 22 1/4 you are officially dumped, lol! I won't do any more adjusting until the new wheels are on in the Spring.

Thanks!
AM FTW! Still wouldn't mind having a WDP, though.
Well at first I was going with type s tails all the way, but after my USR side markers I fell in love with my red's. So they're staying.
Yes it does! But if I see a stock one it still has a soft spot on me.
Thanks man! When u getting yours on? I think I'm about to remove my body side moldings, but I'll dye if it kills my paint.
