    haha I couldn't figure out how to get the plastic threads off the hex caps so I could strip them to polish, so I figured I would leave it. I love how it turned out!

      The car parts room is a bit more complete with all the wheel pieces and my new coilovers (BC Racing BR Type with the Extreme Drop Kit)

        As soon as I got the faces back, I figured I would send them off to have the center bore machined a bit so I can use hub-centric rings. Ordered the rings, now waiting for those to get in so the shop knows that to bore it to.

        All boxed up!

        Luckily only one wheel is like this, and hopefully the shop can get it straightened out for me

              Ahh I see. Interesting. I have quite a few band / hip hop posters framed myself (limited runs x/100). IDK why but when I saw that poster it looked familiar. Thanks for the info! haha.

                So I think I'm in a bit of a predicament.

                Here's the rear fitment after 5mm spacers, but I still rub the coilover so i think 5mm more will get it right. I'm also adding an inch of lip, so I don't know how much I will poke.

                Here's the front. I'm going to put the old 5mm spacers on it, and they're getting an inch of lip as well.

                (Here's your time to show off) Can anyone show pics of their fitment with some poke? Not aired out or perfect fender to lip, but a bit of poke with maybe only fender rolling. I'm trying to get an idea of what to work with.

                Also, any suggestions for tire sizes? I still have the 215/45R17 from when I disassembled the wheels, but I think I might need a bit more of stretch

                    Adding 1" front and rear, so new specs will be 9 front and 10 rear

                      So the question about fitment still stands. Anyone? Bueller?

                              But here's the inner clearance...
                              [IMG] by r1giles1, on Flickr[/IMG]

                              How safe is this clearance? That with 10mm spacers. I took a video of it as it was moving while I bounced on the trunk and it got pretty close. Having the coilovers set to the hardest setting was really rough and I don't really want to drive like that. Would 15mm set it far enough??
