Oh shit didn't think you would have made that much progress when I posted. Definitely baller.

Those wheels look great on your car! Good choice on the new lips.

Thanks everyone. I guess I could have made a better title but its fitting. I got wheels instead of paying bills. Ill get some good pictures up once I paint the car. Im still contemplating running a wider rear tire. Not a huge fan of stretch. The fronts are a perfect stretch in my book. Til then bodywork and paint is on hold.

Next up will be brembo rotors and akebono brake pads followed by some frame rail plating and oil pan protection.

jesus this is so fuckin awesome. wheels look stupendous on there

[beater740iSport]

Thanks guys. New lips are 6" rear and 5" front. Rears ended up being 19x12 with 0 offset and fronts are 19x10.5 with +15 offset. 10mm spacer used up front brings it to 5+ offset.

love it. i think i missed it, but what size are the new lips?

[beater740iSport]

Ok random picture. Dogs taking a break from wrestling, scrape marks from the bmw and a perfectly fine work lip sitting by the junk batteries. (No it didn't get scrapped)


Finished with the wheels and mostly done pulling the rears. Front is fine. Does t rub at all. Coilovers are about 3/8" from max lowness up front. And rear is about halfway thru its travel. Height is adjusted all the way down and coil has about an inch of play when the car is jacked up and suspension drooped. I wish nex made the rear shock bodies about an inch shorter.

Got the fronts on with 245/35/19 federals 595rs. The front is a 10.5 wide wheel with (I think ) +15 offset and a 10mm spacer to clear coilovers. So 19x10.5 ett


Rear pass side rolled n pulled but not enough. Trying to keep the crease around the fender opening and not flatten it out or flare the lip. Easier said than done.

First test drive and im stuck in the driveway. Too much ricer angle.


Back into the shop to roll and lightly pull the front.
