        Yeah me too.... got a lot of work still to do. But that is the name of the game haha.

        The front wheel hits the strut ever so slightly when rotating so I am going to have to see what the best approach to fixing that is going to be as i will assume it will be worse when turning. Assuming that the wheels will flex slightly.

                Well... I wouldnt say that haha. Although they are a blast to ride. Maint. is a pain in the butt. And they need a lot of it. Oil changes every 200-250 miles sucks.

                  Countdown to fitment has started. Got the tires on and they are just waiting for me to take them home.

                    Perfect ! With that tire size the rear should fit easily. They're only poking 1mm more than mine and I didn't have any problem fitting them. :up:

                      I personally want to know how your wheels fit that a 8 if mine with a 6 scrub a little. I assume my lip might have a little more meat on it or something. But either way I am happy for now. Just wondering how it is going to work until i order the parts for the subframe and camber kit.

                        Wheels are gonna look sweet mounted up. Is the dash still out of the car?

                        If you need a hand or some company when working on the car gimme a call.

                            I cranked my adjusters up a little bit to clear the wheels. My springs are really short.

                              i did the same thing ^^ the lip of the wheel was scraping againt the collar so i lifted it and its sitting right ontop of the lip lol still tucking half the tire though =] . Great job btw i like the wheel choice. In for pics of them mounted.
