BEFORE WITH A SLAMMED REAR

Here is what 205/60-15's & E30 M3 CA bushings will do to a fender liner:


RUBBING = HELLA ANNOYING!

I had many reasons to put them back on:
1) I was planning on selling them and buying 205/55-15 ES100's ($450), and I was getting offers for much more than that......so keeping the tires I have is a good idea.
2) I couldn't sell them.....
3) Rubbing sucks
4) Oversize, bubbly tires suck
5) Higher drive ratio sucks

I'll use the C's next year, when these 16" tires are burnt up. Sell the T's and use that $$ to buy proper tires. Maybe 225s with spacers or something......

I think the stance was perfect with the larger tires, but now the rear is too high, and the ffront should be taken down a bit. With .7in less diameter......the car is relatively lifted now.

yep Et-20 owns, The metal on the rear inside edge of the passenger wheel wheel is rubbed shiny silver. I don't have any fender liners so I don't have that rubbing issue. Looks a lot better without the slammed rear :D

Hey Rob, I think the Ts look great. Better than the others, imo. :up:

Oops. Typo......wasn't. I actually make that error a lot when typing.......

I couldn't really sell them for enough to rationalize it. Therefore, the best course of action is to use up these tires. The opportunity cost of selling the wheels now rather than later is $450, the cost of new tires for the C's. The benefit of selling them was minimial.

:P

I think I'll be back with some more pics this afternoon.....the driveway is sloped, so the ride height is skewed.

On second look, the front is just above the tire.....no tuck....barely. The rear fender too is just above the tire, but a little tuck in the back might look good. I am a fan of a little rake though. Call me EURHOOOO I guess.

Those look great on there. Makes me wish I would have kept mine and put them on my sedan. What width are those? They sit in more than mine did on the front.

[rwh11385]

Thanks. I think it's good though you got rid of one of the sets in your "collection"

16x7.5.

You know, maybe I was imagining things on the basketweaves, or just thinking they were lighter make my car seem faster......but these T's don't feel that heavy. Of course, it'd probably coming off of some massively oversized tires, and a longer final drive......but still.....the car is fast. Plus, I dig the width.

The T's look a lot better than the C's.

Better save up more money so you can pay a shop to adjust your ride height again :roll:

I just had him put in the springs while he was aligning it. It allowed him to check out the camber and any other issues too. Plus, I was on Spring Break, and too busy to do it myself. (I could have called off work.....but that would have cost me too.... in retrospect, I might have done it differently......but it was worth getting them in)

I'll adjust them sometime, I just need a free afternoon......like not today. I have to write a fucking 750 word paper on a book I didn't read. Anyone have Madame Bovary passages? :? It blows.

Before I start on that, I took some pictures:







Lighting really sucks in some (if not all).......

First and foremost, fuck economics. Other than that, the car looks good, just needs a lil drop :up:
