I think thats a perfect stretch for that size wheel. I know when my tires are bald i will be doing a 225/35 on a 10 and 245/35 on a 11.

Props for staying motivated amidst daily life of working and raising a family. I can't wait to see your car when its done. I have been very unmotivated with my car lately and I find all my time is going towards other things.

as long as you have a true to size, or wide running tire, that should be good. i had a narrow 225 on my 10, and while i never had a blow out, it was pretty scary.

i dont blame you, i havent been motivated to do anything to her for quite sometime now, but had a change of heart LOL

But anyway!!

not a major update but one none the less, LED interior lighting and Version 1 ATLP Exhaust.





dont mind how dirty the car and how dirty the exhaust is i have been lazy to wash the car since its going into the shop in a week,

guys here in hawaii run 225 on a 10 all day and they run generals. Not sure if that is a true to size but i know they feel confident about it.

Anyways i hope the car comes out sick Jay. I have some ideas of my own right now but well see if a shop is crazy enough to take on the challenge.

Great progress and love the work, but i have to tell you as a FORMER Nankang NSII owner but these tires are one of the WORST sets i have ever owned. I had them on for my 19's and the road noise was horribe and my MPG plummeted to 15MPG Your right the price was good but the savings will quickly get eaten up by the gas.

At any rate keep up the good work

youre still gotta bottom out haha. my skunk2 UCA and my shock towers are BEAT lol

also, be careful..maybe i just got an incomplete part, but if the uca didnt come with locking nuts on the camber plates, i suggest getting some from OSH and putting them on. after like the first week of having the skunk 2 i was driving and heard something metal fall from my car. pulled over and it was my camber plate. my whole suspension almost collapsed, but it happened to get caught on something that was strong enough to hold it up.

i figured i would still bottom out, since i am going to lower the front a tad more, giving the car more rake. But at least it still wont be as bad as the Ingalls, that stupid Kit sits like 25mm Higher than the OEM UCA
