LIQUID0401, I've already called dibs on them if they fall to me (a local person has expressed interest).

Anakalia, awesome! Can't wait to see pix

cappy_0521, tint looks good.

Sorry I already have a buyer. Sale will be confirmed tonight. If she backs out, they will go to I are LEGEND. But you guys can always buy them new for a great price on eBay. That's where I had bought them.

Its ok I are LEGEND if you don't get in on these I still plan on going the coils route early spring. My pass headlight is fogging nasty so will be addressing that issue first and supposedly need to talk to someone about a deal going on regarding shoes.

And Vlad, I was able to look at a few rims and I see what you are saying. If the rim thing doesn't work out I may give spacers another try but not as crazy as yours. I still have a fear of fender rolling. Especially around here.

I was always scared of installing spacers, had fear of them falling off now I have like 3 different sets and like my new set up..
btw rolled my fenders last night.. super easy!!!
took me about 20 min for each roll.. with right tools, things can never go wrong! used constant heat and took my sweet time!
Who ever will be rolling make sure clean out all the debris and dirt from behind the fender lip, and use low angle first about 30 degrees, and increase it into a 90 degree angle.

Awesome! You've made me rethink my spacer plans now. I've been torn between 15mm and 20mm for the front and 20mm or 25mm for the rear. However, I just noticed that the Ichiba stocks 17mm and 22mm spacers. That could be the perfect medium...hmmm....

just a heads up.. if you wanna pay for brand name get Ichiba.. i went through so many spacers.. and they all machined/designed the same way with same material as long as they hub-centric spacers. My current ones are from ebay, spend $120 for all 4...
I really like the 20/25 set up, I would recommend the same

Who did you buy from on eBay? Spacers seem like something you don't want to go cheap on. I've heard stories about the off-brand spacers cracking, but maybe those were rare instances...

Dude! Where did you get that roller at? I need to roll my fenders so bad so i can fix my crazy negative 6º camber in the back..lol. I go through the back set of tires in about 5 weeks. The outsides are pretty much brand new, and the inside is worn through. I love the rim tucking, and got the camber kits, but i need to roll the fenders and flare them a tad to be able to fix it.

I rented it locally from some dude that I found on Honda forum.

When I lived in South Dakota I had plates on a 97 accord that were PPRCHSR which to me was paper chaser and the instance my dad saw it he said that it looked like pot purchaser lol. He was a cop at the time though. It was ironically funny.

Even if it meant F*ck the world what difference is it to the DMV. As long as its available.

And I guess its not so much scared of rolling fenders just really don't want the first time to be on my TL in case I break paint or something. Maybe try it on a couple civics tegs or accords around here for practice.

Does auto zone rent out that tool????

Either way picked up some brand new 2010 Pilot rims. Not sure if want to put them on my van or sell them. Got the transmission out of van today which sucks in 35 degree weather especially when its been mid 50's all week.

My xmas mods are KPT window roll up module and lamin-x overlays for foglights. Going with 2500k fogs and will be contacting JnC next week about headlights.

Sick TLS car is looking super fresh.

And Vlad I may PM you about fender rolling when I grow the cojones to try it.

Annakalia those rims go well with car. I don't know if CBP can pull off black that well.

.
You wont crack anything... just need constant heat and taking small steps. metal gets really hot that it bend easily without cracking any paint.
Autozone does not rent out that tool, I also called bunch of auto shops and tool renting places nobody had em, it was a scavenger hunt!
Will be glad to answer any questions you got!!

Thank you sir.

Just saw in a rim thread with a guy running 19x8 TSW Caldwell 40 offset without spacers on brembo fronts.

I was told by a TSW rep that this would not fit in 18 or 19 rim only 20" unless I ran a spacer.

Does anyone on here know for sure because really like those rims but can't get a clear answer.

not hating on # 83 but i want the unlucky number 13. Since no one seems to have it, and another KBP is #12 (DigitalEmpire) I think its only right i should take the 13 spot!!
