car looks good man. but those tires are straight up rubber bands. I'm going to guess 30 profile?

MikeCLS6

Yeah....i think you need some beefier tires....

Looks real good... No Doubt...


Hope the roads are great 'cause you definitely have those lips exposed with those tires... 'cause they look real VIP... STRETCHED...

web_edge

Thank you everyone for the complement and im in the ATX

The ride feels good and still no rubbing!

Tires are Nankang Ultra Sport NS II - 225/30 ZR20 85W

Looks great......add some tireshine and clean your wheel wells, and it would look even better when the wheels are turned.

Those wheels make me nervous just looking at them though.

web_edge

i will take a better photo, the lip in this pic makes it look like its sticking way out but it really not.

what should i clean the wheel well with?

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

bug and tar remover will do the trick with what is on a the paint, i always use the engine degreaser at car washes to clean out the entire wheel well though.

I went by the place that i bought my wheels/tires and he said that the reason he put such a low pro tire on my car is because he knew if i got any wider/taller then it would rub.

i just had my car aligned with the old wheels (factory rims), should i get it realigned with the new wheels? its not pulling but i think i may need to get the wheels rebalanced, i get a little shake when i let off the gas around 45mph

sT04Louis - thanks for the reco and im on the north side of the atx

rodneyc77

iTrader: (1)

yes... go get the alignment checked out... as an insurance policy for your new tires....

did the wheel guy put in hubcentric rings on the wheels when you got them installed... if he didn't then that's 'causing the vibration...

Good Luck and looks good

Right on, im in austin almost every weekend. Next weekend is gonna be my last time in austin though before i move to washington. Gotta take my car in to Sterling Acura to get my rear bumper fixed. Maybe ill see you driving around on my way down.

web_edge

i confirmed that they did put the hubcentric rings on but i will go by there tomorrow to reconfirm- alignment here i come!


sT04Louis - do you go through mitch at sterling? he is one of the best service guys i have seen in some time. what happened to your bumper?

sT04Louis

iTrader: (5)

Name doesnt ring a bell...only guy ive worked with there is Dave in the service department. Dude was totally worthless...spent 10-15 pushing on my bumper, then calls their manager to have him look at it...and all of this came after two days of calling them over and over to set up a time for me to have them look at it. Finally i just drove down there and showed up, only for them to have me make a appt for this weekend. So while he is taking down my info he starts talking to some lady about her trip to hawaii, while the whole time im sitting there expecting he needed more info. 10min later those two were still talking about he driving some car on a one way road or some stupid crap...i finally just put myself inbetween the two of them and ask if he needed any more info... "ohh no youre good to go, thought you were listening to the story..."

But yea some how the clips that hold the sides of the bumper to the car have come loose, so they gotta take my bumper off and replace them. The big hassle was to have them cover it under warranty.

Maybe ill ask for Mitch when i go in there this friday.

web_edge

yes, ask for Mitch and tell him that "EDGE" told me to go to through you. He is good, i know who dave is and he is worthless. mitch will know who I am, im in there like 3 times a month.

SSMTL01

I've always loved the adr sterling, nice choice

oquockyo

those tires are not wide enough. you sholud get 235 or 245 or those rims will be in trouble.

bigmoetl1

yeah i have a 245-30-20 no rub

web_edge

did guys lower your car as much as mine?

koldest

do yall guys think i would rub if i ran a 245-35-20 with same amount of drop?

robbie82

Depends, any drop?

Web any new pics?

web_edge

i think you would, i looked at my car this morning and if my tire was any wider it would rub i think, its to close as is......

desper

would be close i would go for 235 instead of 245

spiike

I really pray you dont hit a pot hole. Some of the ones around here in Chicago will surely dent those beautiful rims.
