yeah everything looks better on the ground.

start rollin' and pullin'

yeah hopefully i wont have to pull too much. im not too worried about it. im planning on going to Orlando Fender Rolling just because thats the one thing i dont feel comfortable about doing myself. but i plan to be a nosy fucker and ask him a bunch of questions so i know what I'm doing next time.

would i have to worry about the wheel hitting the caliper with a low offset? or is it when you have a high offset you have to worry about that?

[ryanjblajda]

well i did a test fit on the front and rear, and i didnt hit the caliper, but there is a bit much poke for my tastes....it needs moar camber, and a roll/pull in the rear and a roll in the front.













i forgot to get pictures of the front, and i apologize for cell phone pictures. I'm getting my fenders rolled/pulled on monday, and putting in a camber kit this weekend.

[ryanjblajda]

did another test fit on the front. not exactly happy with the results. meh. so when i got the wheels they had 4 195/50/15s and one was so worn out it went flat. the person i traded with gave me 2 extra tires, but they were 195/55/15s. they look balloony as shit. i dislike the mexiflush track stance that I'm currently rocking. hopefully when im done this house sitting gig; i will have enough cash to get 195/45/15s. or if i really want some stretch 165/45/15s. im debating between the 2. my friend had 15x8 with 195s and i liked how it looked, so i think ill stick with that.

here are some photos:

i think with maybe a degree or degree and a half more camber it will sit just right. but it really needs 195/45/15s.

i might try and sell the current tires and use that money to fund new ones. but for right now ill try the track stance lol.

the current stretch/balloon ass tires



can any of you notice that bulge? idk what that is but it definitely was not there when i looked at the tire before mounting....



here are more pictures of that bulge...what do you guys think?







and i didnt notice this until after the tire was mounted...is this dangerous? the tires arent new.



the wheel looks warped in this picutre but i think i may have been moving my ipad when i took it.



more mexistance -__-



more poop looking fitment....



woot. rubbage from the steelies having such large tires, and the old 15x7 xxr's being so wide.

Raise the car so your old tires wont rub.


YEAAAA Mexiflush

YEAAAA Mexiflush

hahaha nice picture. the old tires pretty much rubbed everything off. no more rubbing except on uturns.

[rice4life]

Oh yeah that bulging sidewall can cause a blowout so you should get them changed. You should sell your old tires and get a set of 195/45 tires.

[ryanjblajda]

thats what i thought....kinda dissapointed now. looks like ill be selling the tires. to craigslist!

Mine are 15x8 offset 15 with 16mm spacers all around so idk on the offset after the spacers. But i have 175/55 r15s on my wheels and the streched nicely. I was just gunna get 175/45s or 165/45s but couldnt find anything. The wheels were only 74 bucks a tire on tirerack though. I had a guy roll my fenders and he did a terrible job, so i went and bought a heat gun and a bat! Rolled with the bat and the result came out way way better. Oh and a rubber mallet too! Sounds sketchy and i was scared to try it out but if you just take your time and make sure the fender is HOT it works fine.

Also want camber kit are you getting and how much camber you gunna run? Definatly post some pics of how much camber you have if you put the camber kit on. maybe just get some new tires and run those wheels for awhile see if you like them at all.

[ryanjblajda]

lol 15mm - 16mm = -1mm Offset.

i got my fenders rolled by a "professional" lol he's been into cars and shit for a while and he did an amazing job.

i got the eibach camber kit, and it sucks. dont bother. it only add 1.75 degrees of negative camber, and right now it has canceled out the natural camber i already had

-___-

[Dylan_M]

Ohhh -1 lol ok! Well thays good he did a good job. Ya ar. e camber kits for are car suck A S S. I went to a local car shop and they said they maxed my camber out to -3 but sure doesnt look like it.

[ryanjblajda]

Yeah they really don't make very many great camber kits for out cars.

[ryanjblajda]
