Definitely liking the 215/40. I think the 215/35 would've looked too rubberbandish.

I agree. It's a bit bandish as it is now, could've done 225/40, but 35 would have have overdone it. I'll get some better pics of the tire fitment later today.

You must have felt deflated after thinking you'd have them by now and then find out it'll be almost a month. I know that feel bro. Patience has never been a strong point for me.
But you can live vicariously thru Caucasian's sonic for now. Isn't he getting a rimjob this week?

I removed the last lockring on the rear adjustment perches. Still needs moar low IMO. Only option left is to remove the perch completely, but that's like a whole inch. I'll have to change my sig to Hardly Functional.

 

[Eric Smit]

Oh dude, I looked like Keanu on a bench when they told me it would take an additional two to three weeks. I was crushed. ;P His rimjob might be completed today, likely tomorrow.

I think you are going to remove the perch in approximately 30 minutes. ;P hardly functional will be you. haha.

It's like we are sharing one brain.

It wouldn't be hard to put back if it's unbearable. Two bolts and the axle drops, one of the few pluses of having a Solid Rear Axle. But of coarse, I'll have to bring the front down an 1" to match.

I think I want to get some road time on my new shoes so I can get a clear review before I start making additional and substantial suspension changes.

you know that you should[/] put some time on your new rubber, but you won't. ;P

Isn't that how you ended up with a son.

I think he started giving the rubber a chance and the after a couple of burnouts it blew out....

 

[SSpeckerwood]

What's a rubber?

There are two reasons it took me so long to get it done. The first is that some punk ass silverback broke into my car when I went to the bank to get the money to tip the tire guy. Broke my window like some savages.

Second reason is that the hub bore was a tad to small on the new rims. Luckily the tire shop let me borrow their die grinder and let me open them up right there.

IM SOOOOO JEALOUS!!!!!!!! sorry bout the window bro..but the car looks amazing with those rims

 

[Eric Smit]

I was hoping someone would quote all the pictures so I didn't have to go back a page.

[chrisennis7]

Those rims sorry wheels* look awesome on your car!

 

[Eric Smit]

Preloader, I always had the most difficulty looking at your pictures, because when I clicked on them, my app would crash. I had to quote your post, copy the link, open in web browser, and repeat. It sucked because I was usually certain I wanted to see them.

Tapatalk had an update today. First fix listed? Opening large pictures would cause app to crash.

It was a glorious day.

Thanks guys. I'm loving them myself. I will say that I'm still not in love with the tire size I chose. It looks great in front, but the rear wells look soooo empty. It doesn't look bad, it's just not what I had in mind.

I got my window replaced, and gave her a good wash. Didn't get around to more pics. But I did get a pic of the CF vinyl wrapped caps.

 

[rdss]

The cap fits the car/wheel nice. Glad you're all sealed up again.

 

[Eric Smit]

can you take a front shot of the tire turned like that? it's hard to see how much you're stretching.
