You know you want to come back here!

Yeah for Sevenstock and In and Out.....thats it:001_005: :rofl:

So the SSR's sold today and left on a UPS truck to their new home!! :)

Working on the VS-XX's with the seller. Sounds like it is for sure. YES!!

Little Update:

So I ended up getting a sweet deal on some 17''x8 +28, 17''x9 +29 WORK EQUIPS. I liked the VS-XX's BUT the Equips are just to sweet!! I should be getting them by Tuesday.

Now I am in the process of deciding what series of tire I want to get. It is a pickle due to how much fender gap I want with these new shoes.

I am up in the air with either 40 or 45 series tires. 45's will fill my wheel wells perfect with my current Tokico/gf210 set up BUT will probably feel sloppy. 40's will be stiff BUT will leave a slighlty larger gap in my fenders....I am most likely just gonna get coilovers this tax season so this may be all in vain lol. :rofl:


Meanwhile today I decided I am gonna need to roll my fenders regardless if I ever lower this FC more. Went at it this morning with a heat gun and rubber body mallet................

Passenger side went GREAT with no cracking.

The driverside was a **** and already had a "bite" in the fender lip that caused a small 2mm crack this last summer. I knew the crack was gonna spread and sure as shit it grew about 2''....

Here is the crack after I touched it up(my ocd couldn't let this fly though...;))

SOOOOOOOOO then I said screw it and got out some 2000 grit and wet sanded that damn crack, applies some touch up, then some rubbing compound, then a heavy coat of 3M Hand Glaze followed by a little more touch up paint. Turned out GREAT and is barely noticable. :icon_tup:

As for tires I am thinking about Nitto NT555's or Falken FK425's. If ANYONE knows of other street Ultra HP tires, please fill me in.

Will post pics of the wheels as soon as they get here.

Federal 595RSR's are decently priced and perform quite well.

As for fender rolling, I pulled mine out a little more today, the paint cracked big time where the bondo was.

Nice job Sean, I demand pics ASAP.

I think I'm just gonna roll the fenders in the FD before I even spray primer :rofl:

Thanks man! I would roll them before too. It would be less stressful then doing it with new paint. I was pretty pissed it cracked but whatever...it is just a car and I would rather have a small paint imperfection then a chewed up fender from a tire. :o11:

You'll hate my FC then :)


Get some pics up of the wheels when you get them. What color did you end up going with on the wheels you got the deal on?

17x8 +28 huh.... you shouldnt have too much rubbing issues up front... but rolling the fenders is definitely a safe bet. Looks good man!

17x8 +28 should look awesome. I'm running 17x8+35 and there is a less offset that could be there. I've always thought of running a small 5-7 mm spacer to bump them out just a touch more. I love that perfect flush look and the benefit of the FC's suspension is that it will tuck into the well upon compression.

They are silver. I will decide if I want to make them a gloss graphrite once I see how silver looks on my Blue.

Yeah I figured rubbing wouldn't be an issue with that offset BUT I have a 5mm spacer just in case ;)

I am hoping I rolled my fenders enough, i didn't fold the fender lip completely against the inner fender due to really cracking the paint BUT trust me it is folded damn good. Plus I only did a "very tight fold" from one red point to the other on the picture.

Is that enough?? ...we will have to wait and see.

Cool! I hope they look good :)

Doubt it ;)

sean! pics of wheels!

Hold on MoFo! I have one more lip to sand and polish. I am awaiting my newly powder coated/cleared centers from Big Sky Perfromance Coatings. PLUS I need to strip the old ass RTV from the rims and polish/clean the 148 bolts!! :( Needless to say I should have hit up the "refurbish" option when I had the chance.

Fuck it, I saved 300.00$....just lost most of my fingerprints from sanding.


In due time my friends lol

That's not all a bad thing :suspect: I lost alot of definition from metal working and general calases. I've been fingerprinted three times now and each time the dude made some snyde remark :ugh2:
