no, sorry...one of each cracked...only replaced the front but won't do that again because it's already powdercoated...inner barrel will require a weld and to get the tire flat crap scraped out of it to balance properly.

so you have two cracked still or just one cracked since you replaced the front already?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Just one cracked now...
put $700 into my stock set after powder and the new front rim so I was heartbroken to find another crack on the rear afterward.
That said, I might...

I think both sets of wheels look good on your car either way.

Thanks man...
the 20's are 1 pound and 7 pounds heavier, front and rear.
Wonder if it's in my head or noticeable with a car that's this heavy with that kinda torque.

CCColtsicehockey

For going up an inch in wheel size that isn't terrible. You going to have to spend 3000-4000 most likely to get 20s that weigh less than the stock 19in wheels.

So if might be worth it to just do a high boost pulley, larger throttle body, injectors, and some cooling upgrades and then you won't notice anything

you do know who you're talking to, right?

CCColtsicehockey

I do. I will just keep suggesting it. Eventually you will do it. Peer pressure is too much.

pfft 8 lbs, between the two baby seats i have in the back i got double that extra weight hauling around... time for pullies!!! do it J-nice... you can get ahead of me... otherwise you will get left behind...

i'll keep my eye out for a rear... i wonder if the previous owner ran into a deep pot hole which cracked a front and rear wheel...

CCColtsicehockey

Whenever I get back to the shop to pick it up I will have a 2.8in pulley available.

You guys are the fkng DEVIL!

I'm gonna have the rear welded...but if I do that, I'm definitely getting new tires.

CCColtsicehockey

Had you just kept the tires you ordered the first time you would already have tires

yeah but I traded the 19's for the 20" sumis!

Body work got pushed a week...
No biggy...loaded up the waggin with baby, kayak, rear oem wheels (so I can put them on when I get the rear wheel redone)...
What an awesome vehicle.

Rear sits perfectly when loaded up...was contemplating cutting rear springs too
but I think I'll start with dialing in some negative camber instead...I know that'll even it out and give me same camber front/rear.

Dem twankies!

I don't know a-boat that. I thought J mentioned it before. I can't go look for it right now, canoe? Maybe I'm wrong and I'll need to back-paddle my statement later.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Well, that's the 2nd secret.
I also suck dk and I'm not sure how my Mother will feel about it.

JT4

The rear does sit nice in that pic, but here is my concern. Since you seem to load the Vagon up quite often with the kayak, bikes etc.. If you were to lower it so it sits as shown in the pic with no load, aren't you concerned that it will rub or bottom out when loaded up?

Nexson

sorry we got busy J

Once things clear up, we will be on track to take it in.

It's all good, Brian...
I'm not really in a rush, was just excited to get it dropped off today!
I got the powder in for that rear rim...
Little by little I'm excited to see the front end lookin right!

JT, yeah, I thought about that, although I figured with a little negative camber (just to match the front and bring rear down a smidge) I'll be alright...plus, I cut the rear bump stops last time around.

Found a little piece of myself yesterday that I'd left for a while...some therapeutic interior cleanup

CCColtsicehockey

My wagon needs an interior detail really bad. I also need to figure out how to get my front camber dialed like yours. You look like you have a lot less camber in the front than I do by maybe a full 1-1.5 degree.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I think so too...
I read somewhere that it's the same cradle that can move as the rear...if that's the case i would consider doing positive camber up front so the gap is even...
but i mean, I do love that low life. Because I'm a low life.

Yumcha

That boat is such an awesome spoiler.

Also shouts out to J's need to be more ...cuz, well, boat.
