rockstar143's 2013 CTS-V SUV Wagon Thread - GM Owner & Cut Springs

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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![what](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/what.gif)
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.

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.

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

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.
#3791
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.
