Well its been snowing a lot in PA the past month but the weather finally warmed up a bit and I was able to get my broken car into the ghetto barn garage.
Test fitting all the wheels...
I'm thinking 205/40R17 series tires...lemme know what u think. Keep in mind more low will come in time.
I didn't order this....
Few random pics...
My buddy Travis let me borrow his eastwood fender roller...this thing is awesome!
Rolling the inside lip flat against the inside of the fender wall
Only did the rear fender tonight. Got a great start on it, just needs to be smoothed out a bit for a cleaner transition with the rest of the body, but overall pretty happy.
Planning to roll all the fenders tomorrow so should be some more updates soon

Haven't updated in awhile, just been busy with a lot but here are some updates...
I got tires mounted and balanced....however they were not the size I originally wanted which was 205/40's but the shop could not get the tires to hold air so after several different tires sizes and brands I ended up with 225/45 Ingens All Seasons.
Very mild stretch :/
Some more crappy cell phone pics after fitting them on...
The wheels fit perfectly which was a surprise to me and my buddy. And even with the larger then expected tires I think the fitment is pretty damn good. The coils are not completely set and some fine tuning is much needed because I feel like the height is not all the same around the car.
And of course with larger tires comes more ground clearance.... My coils are maxed and the front springs are even drooped a bit to match the maxed out rear coils. But I've got some plans which I will tell ya about later on...
More pics. Stanceworks plate frame, Oooh Kill Em.
Then we checked to see if I could even turn my front wheels....
Ooof that's too close for comfort and me being stupid I was like "ooh shit son that is on point lets take it for a test drive." Quick spin around the block and all we hear is straight rubbing and other horrid sounds.
The damage, thankfully only this side. The rear is perfect, minimal rubbing unless I have a set of wheels in the back seats...Lol
Pretty much F'ed this fenders day up with a heat gun, roller, and hammer trying to fix it. I tried my best and will get a replacement fender before it gets resprayed but it will do for now.
(no close up pic after repair)
Fast forward about 2-3 weeks and we finally warm up out of the single digits so I decide to take my car to the car wash and give her a much needed cleaning. I guess everyone had the same idea as me because there were about 30 cars sitting around in lines waiting to use the stations. Now that my car was somewhat clean I decided to take a few awesome cell phone pics at the only place I could think of without being harassed on a busy Saterday. Some building across the street from my house..

Dirty interior shot. Check engine light always on. It's a lifestyle bro.
Tilted.

Next things on the to do list... Much needed interior cleaning, new wheel nuts so I can fit my center caps on, and more low as always.Last edited by Addicted2Low; 02-01-2014, 02:16 PM.
