FINALLY!!! Got my ES7's on and loving the look....

Been a long time coming for me to get these wheels and tires mostly because money isn't exactly easy to come by these days. But finally the day has come. car rides like a champ. rear fenders were rolled with a slight pull. Enjoy the pics...wheel and tire specs are in my sig if you're curious:

Looks great! Any camber kit out back. Looks pretty close to vertical to me which seems odd with the amount of drop you're running. Then again it could just be the pics.

OP, hit me up if you need some. I've got a WDP set not being used. We can work something out.

Still debating on how much lower I want to go up front. I'm bottomed out on my coilovers right now. I can go lower if I mess with the preload though

Funny you say that. They do look close to vertical, but they're not. I'm running natural camber and plan to pretty much keep it that way. And as far as those bumper plugs go.....I'm willing to take em off your hands. PM me and lets work something out.

Had to stretch something hahaha and btw, down here in Miami, its summer damn near year round. I'm not complaining though....that means plenty of ladies wearing next to nothing a lot of the time.

That's already a work in progress. money, as with everyone, holds me back right now. I'm definitely happy with the way it looks with the wheels though.

Yes, sir...only rolled the rear. I'm still debating on whether or not I want to go lower up front. Rides real good as is. All that aside, I live in an apartment complex with LOTS of speed bumps and I'm already just barely scraping. Dunno if I can handle going even slower or hearing even more scraping.

I'd definitely consider dropping the front more, or raising the rear more. Got a lot of rear sag going on there.

these pics were taken the day I put the wheels on before I adjusted the suspension. the rear was brought up in the process and the car has been realigned. right now the car sits at 24.5" fender to ground up front and 24" fender to ground in the rear. waiting til march when my lease is over and I don't have to deal with speed bumps anymore to drop the front more. i'll be moving to an apartment complex with no speed bumps...thank god. if you look close in some of the pics you can see where the paint has been scrubbed off the mud guards already....
