Imrantl.....did you used my front end guy Muzzio in Ridgewood, if you want your TL to handle and the tires to wear normally. Check out Muzzio's.

 

what does this guy do?...maybe i can check him out...sorry invincible for highjacking

 

Muzzio set my Tein suspension to handle like a SCCA car, he adjust the specs to your driving habit. Example my stock bridgestones have 20,000 miles on them due to Muzzio work of art on front end alignments & I still have little bit than half of thread life left.

 

Opps....sorry for getting off topic invincible, my bag.

 

that soundss great...where is he located...i mite check him out....my bad about today kevin...i got outta work and my friend wanted to go see x3 so i had to take her...definitly let me know a few days in advance if ur gonna be up here

Travis

 

What's up Travis.....Yeah I left Queens around 8pm got home in time for Sopranos. The name of the shop is Muzzio's front end alignment shop, phone#(201)652-1121 the owners name is Jack. This guy is the god of wheel alignments that he works on clientel no walkins and in the summer time he works four days a week tues thru fri 9am to 5pm.

 

Thanks man, maybe one day we can meet up and u can take me over there and i can get my car balanced and shyt...im usually off on tuesdays so maybe we can arrange something..Thanks again and dont forget to hit me up next time ur up in queens.

Invincible...any new pics man.?...cant get enough of ur car

 

I'll let you guys know but I highly doubt it, he is difficult to get in touch with. I'll see if he'll give me the car for a couple of hours, that would mean Travis you would have to come to Jersey, or when we have the next Ross Dock meet you guys can meet up. I'll talk to him tomorrow regardless and give Kevin a call.

 

What up Plat.....if it wasn't for Plat I'll be rolling 19inch, thanks for convincing me to go to Duece Zeros.

 

Travis.....give Jack a call and set up a appt for a tuesday and I'll meet up with you to bring you over there.

 

So.... I was washing my car this morning and wondertl introduced himself to me. His car looked very nice!! I was very impressed. What a small world! The pics arent that great because of my camera phone.

 

Looks nice, what are they?

 

Are those 19s??

 

Yes, they are 19's. I thought they were 20's and so did he when he first saw them. It looks damn good and sits flush. Love the lip too!

They are Work Euroline SL's

thats a sharp looking TL....Wheels arent my cup of tea but one must over a set of Work Wheels...Invincible, any changes on the car?...

Travis

 

Wow!

Another beautiful TL. Looks very good.

 

is it the angle of the camera phone, the lighting or what, but are those rims white?

Regardless the color, as far as I can see the car looks nice!

 

They are silver.

 

Not at this time. The wheels look very nice in person.

 

Those work rims do look nice! Whats the specs, and drop on that caR?

 

Good LAWD! those look good!

I have never seen those wheels before. Very nice...way to represent Houston!

 

hey you guys with the 20s, if you lower it anymore, would it start rubbing the rear fender?

 

Without the spacers, no it wouldnt rub. It all depends on the offset. Now if you turned your front wheels, then yes. But not for the back unless you get an agressive fit.

 

I have the WORK Euroline FS and my rears are 20x8.5 with +35mm offset. I measured it with a ruler going straight down from the rear fender down to the wheel/tires and it seems that the wheel/tire sticks out of the fender a tiny bit. If i were to lower it 2" in the back, I am afraid the rear fender would be rubbing against the wheel/tire.

Tires are 245/35-20.

 

Roll your fenders and no more rubbing

 

You can also go with 235's. I have 235's in the front for the 8.5. That would also solve your problem. From looking at your pics, I dont think you can go any lower.

 

I was that low originally and I cut up two left side BF Goodrich KDW 245-35-20 and I replace the tire both times, can't stand a cut up tire. After the second tire I rised the Suspension if it was rised a quarter of inch, my front end guy Muzzios in Ridgewood NJ leveled & set the suspension to his specs. The TL looks and handles good.

 

Kevin..iam gonna make an appointment with ur front end guy this tuesday..ur gonna be available?...yea i hate cut up tires....my front tires are alittle cut up as it is, i gotta do something about it, see if i can cut out something or trim something...im gonna take a look this week and see if something can be done..

Travis

 

Yeah.....just let me know, out of work for minute(workmans comp hand injury). Just let me know what day and i'll be available.

Kevin

 

Hey can you take a picture of the piece of the A-Spec part you cut off in the rear fender well? I have a set of 20x8.5 TSW Kyalami's with a 40 offset, and 245/35/20. I get rubbing in the rear when a take a quick corner or hit speed bump/dips in road. I was gonna try taking that piece out and getting the fenders rolled. I have the aspec drop and kit by the way. Do you have any other suggestions for me? I really don't have the funds to get a new suapension now, so I was hoping for a cheaper solution.................

The front sits alittle higher than the back since I have an Auto, if I raise the back, what would I need to get springs? Sorry I'm a newb to wheels and suspension topics.............

 

You have to alter the rear A-spec kit all three of us had to do that Acuracy and Invincible. If invincible doesn't get back to you today, I'll see if Acuracy will send you the picture of the cut out.

 

Thanks K-Shawn. What set up are you running? What is the offset of yours, and what size tires do you have? Also is modding the A-Spec kit something I can do my self, or do i have to take it somewhere? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to get the rubbing issue solved quickly so I can go get an alignment done soon.

 

I'm running a 35mm offset 20x8.5 in the fronts and 20x10 in the rear. Front tire size is 245/35/20 and rear tire size is 255/35/20. Yeah you can probaly do it yourself or maybe you can take it back to rim and tire shop, show them wear it's rubbing and they can probaly alter the rear A-spec kit. When I installed my wheels, that is what they had to do to the rear kit. I'll see if Acuracy can send you a picture of the cut out, for the A-spec kit.

 

I removed alittle bit of it last night.......as much as I could without taking the wheel off. It doesn't rubb over the speed bumps anymore, but it still does in alot of other places. I guess I need to take the wheels off this weekend and get it good. thanks for the help

and get off your lazy ass and take a pic Acuracy
