    They were re drilled and not filled, going to fill them before powered coat.

      Test fitted the rears

      The fronts need a 5mm spacer to clear the brakes so going to get those soon. Maxed my camber out up front. Hard to tell with the stock wheels but it definitely gained a few degrees.

        UPDATE*** By the way the re-drill has inserts so its not as sketch as you may think lol.

        Got my 5mm spacers up front, maxed the camber out, here is the result with all four wheels on. [IMG][/IMG]

            So got my tires dismounted today, found out that they are 2 piece welded. So going to take them apart tomorrow and have the faces powder coated, then re polish the lips and try to bring the bolts back to life lol.

            Stock life for a few weeks until wheels are back on.

                  Dropped the centers off today for frost white, 90% gloss white. The brightest white they had. Cant wait to get them back. Will post pictures asap.

                    Put another layer of polish on the wheels and cleaned the bolts up. 3 days till I get the faces back. IMPATIENT.

                      I think the tires look fine?
                      Anything under 205/45 might look a little shallow. Like fender gap even with lows, unless you absolutely put it on the ground.

                        read through everything good work man. looks like its coming as far along because of your craftsmanship being able to do most of it yourself which helps complete the look.

                              Thank you for doubting me! I was thinking about it and yeah 40's would be way to small. It was currently on 50's but they were shot so i tossed those but want a slightly smaller side wall so NOW i am going to get 205/45 Falken 912's. Found enough photos of them on a 16x8 wheel an i love that look way more. It won't be so low to the ground and ill be able to tuck tire all around

                                Hey then that's perfect. I had 205/45's on 16x8's a while back the stretch is babyish with the ability to tuck tire.
