    Your running a 3mm up front? Mine are 225-44's and would not fit a late model without rolling the rears and that is just on H&R race.

    Borbets are none to be soft so be aware of holes!

      I was already running a 4mm front and 6mm rear so I left them on with the new setup. I might swap the spacers front/back depending on how the fronts look after camber adjustment.

      Thanks for the tip about the softness and I already keep an eye out now that I have less tire to protect the rim.

        I reside in a town that is commonly referred to as Pot Hole City so i am very aware of where I drive. Some streets I don't even go down at night as to avoid new pitfalls.

        Friend lost an oil pan in the center of town on an unmarked raised manhole and they proceeded to fine her for the oil pollution. She countered and the city said we have blanket immunity from law suits for roads due to the warning signs up. Bullshit is what I say.

        I wrote the paper and called the local TV station till they came out and fixed the end of the my driveway.

          I am lucky there are very few potholes where I live but when one happens it gets pretty big very fast as people just plow into them.

          I hit a deep one that was hidden in the shadows during a rainstorm while driving my Audi. My setup was quite flush to the fender and the impact pushed the wheel high enough into the fender well that the tire pulled down the inside of the fender lip when the wheel came back down.

          When I got back to the spot the next day a road crew filled up the pothole already and I had to fight the city to get them to pay for my repairs.

          Anyhow... Would you be kind enough to post up your ride height and other settings so I can compare notes as I still have to tweak how the front wheels sit.

            When I get back I can, at the moment it's 0830 in the morning here so I'm a few time zones ahead.

            I'll mount them on my vert and snap shots and on my late model.

              Looks great! I think it looks fine with the tires on it now, bigger may look a little better but, it's ok. Side skirts would finish it off.

                    beautiful wheels tire look great too. I think you could go a little lower for pictures sake but to drive I think the ride height it fine.

                    Not to offend anyone who posted anything negative but GENERALLY SPEAKING if you are going to post things like: "you shoulda..." or "I woulda..." then you should have to post pics of your current wheel setup.

                    (IB4 this is a public forum blah blah im just making a point)
