Thanks man! The rear is a 225/40 tire on a 10.5" wheel. The stretch is a little ridiculous. I have some extra fender room, so I'll go with at least a 235/40 next time.

Yeah, I will be going with a 235/40 after I burn through these 225's. Should still have enough clearance.

Just had to stop by to look again haha. Such an aggressive setup

Are your teal lugs actually locks or just regular lugs?
Which caliper paint did you use?

Thanks man. Those lugs are Project Mu. I love them. The caliper paint is called "satin lagoon".

Thanks man I did some research on them and saw which ones they are. might go same setup for lugs and calipers on my new wheels.

How does satin lagoon compare with torque and teal and which is a better match with those super 7 lug caps? Also are the ones on eBay replica lugs or did you get them somewhere specific? Sorry for all the questions but it's such a sweet setup!

I'm not familiar with Torque & Teal, so I don't know how it compares to Satin Lagoon. I got the lugs on ebay. To my knowledge, Mu knockoffs don't exist, but I could be wrong. I think I paid $95 for them. Thanks for the kind words!

Just keeping things updated here with a recent phone pic. Those who follow me on Instagram have already seen it....

Height preset #1:


It is not drivable at this height. The front fenders are resting on the tires.

When your "winter setup" is most others dreams for a "summer setup", you're doing something right.

Good look!

John, we realllly need a down low profile picture to truly appreciate just how low this thing is.

Awesome shot though...

Satin lagoon matches perfectly, I'm not sure torque and teal will.
