A good wax job is all it needs. Spider webbing all in the paint...lol.

 

whattt 18x8.5 +30 rubs? but 18x9.5+38 doesnt ? haha

wtheck i wna go 18x8.5 +30 w/out having to do fendor roll/mods..

 

+38 will be fine. keep in mind +30 is like you putting 15mm spaces on stock wheels. It's overkill bro. Unless you roll the fenders...lol. whats 8mm difference bro? You can tell this members wheels just barely clear.

 

Garner N.C Why are you going with 245/40? Just curious

 

 

Added foot print never hurt and tires come with rim protectors for a reason. To reduce damage if you happen to curb the rim. Yours have no protection with 235mm what so ever. You jumped from 8in wide rim to 9.5in 1.5in difference. The 245mm tire almost fills the whole width of the 9.5in wide rim.

 

I would have went with 245 but i used same tires from my 8.5 width 18's

 

be careful...

 

I wont even park near curbs Learned my lesson awhile back

 

Right-on bro. Just looking out for a fellow Tarheel member. I honestly wish rota did a 19x8.5.

 

+1 I wanted 19's x 9.5 for the concaveness Maybe one day they will make them. Took me 4 months to get this fittment.

 

I want concaveness to so i'll take the 9.5 before 8.5 but maybe they'll do 9...lol. For my silver this color will look so good. Just saving funds now. I have a lot of time before i need tires as I just bought my car last june with new tires that i love.

Gunmetallic

 

Those will look sweet

 

Im thinking about the concave torques too...

 

Nice ride man. Nice rims too. Always like the te37 type styling...and a hell of a lot more affordable lol. How do you like the ATLP exhaust & jpipe? Do you have much droning at all? Exhaust & jpipe will probably be my next mods, figured I'd ask.

 

Stick with the Grids
I love my set up,no drone to me but other members with the exhaust disagree about what is considered drone. Sounds awesome inside and out

 

 

 

I think im gonna do these torques. I've had a set of grids on a previous car. Here it is.

 

Torques look good tooBut I like a 5 star or 6 star rims. Looks beefier Just male sure there concave

 

They are 5 star. just split.

 

You know what i meant,lol Grids will look better on your Tl
Guess im bias

 

Got new rims yet Parasurfer?

 

Desmond (see sig. it's ok to use it...lol). No I won't get until its time for tires or at least I wont install...lol. The Continental w-rated tires they installed new when i purchased in June may have 1k miles on them. You'll be th 1st to see them bro but I may want your help on something else for the summer. Do you have any I?M client?

 

i?m client? what chu talking about willis? Desmond lol

 

I/M client as in AIM/YIM/MS LIVE/SKYPE...

 

no i dont, why?

 

Just PM me. ill ask you there.

 

Whats poppin?

 

Nothing much bro. Did you think about helping me?

 

I would,but work 45 hrs plus a week and have alittle one on the way.
Dont want to commit and be half-ass. lol i would like to attend though.
I think ur the only one that reads this thread,lol Guess no one else likes my wheels

 

I like the wheels but i commented on your thread the little narrow tires over stretched to fit them I do not... What size tires did you do? As for helping in Wilmington, don't worry. Odds are you couldn't even join us for the weekend...lol.

 

Why did you say noone likes your wheels. I just went through all 3 pages for nothing.

 

235/40. will do 245/40 next time

 

You are way lower than I'd ever go but that's personal preference. I tend to think about resale. Dealers see rolled fenders and it flags them. I don't drop any lower than 1.3in and like less drop in the rear to give a slightly aggressive ass high look. Similar to lowered Ludes/Teggies . I like a flush filled wheel well like stock BMW's.

 

I love my drop,wont be any for sale signs on my car. Its paid for and just got a honda pilot for my growing family

 

See i buy a car every 2-3 years. Anytime I do things im thinking in good taste that I'll get a good trade-in because the can flip this car and make good money vs. having to auction it and barely covering what they gave the previous owner for the trade. Im always thinking like that.

 

 

UM... I guess... Or do I...

 

false.
