4g63tcrazy's new setup for 2010

[sleepydsm]

Dang, I should have looked at those when I was at their place!

^^ I need rims more then you do! :p

I need to find out what size tire to run/ if I need a spacer. I wont have a problem in the rear like AWD guys do. But I still have to clear the front struts. I have a little more than 1/4" of space between the back of the rim and strut right now. A 10mm spacer might be needed if I want some meaty tires.

I NEED RIMS MORE! I have crappy 2gB GSX wheels :( Boo hiss. But I'm cheap and the roads here suck so maybe I shouldn't get a nicer set?

I was looking at my engine bay, and because of you I really want to take it all apart and re-do everything... hahaha. Your harness is awesome. I like that your changed where it enters the engine bay. So you gonna be at the Dyno Days?

Nice pickup, I like them from a performance standby, but I haven't quite seen them look good on a DSM.

Your wheels look really good on your car. Not to mention you have some sticky tires on them. Since your car is down right now it would be a good time for you to clean it up a little more! I'm kinda glad this happened cause now I have all this time to do the things that have always kinda bothered me. Not to mention I was 12k miles overdue for a timing belt!!

And yes I'll be at the dyno day at MAP. Probably the one at DB too.

I'll try and make them look good. :)

LOL at his sig. I saw that yesterday.

I've had fd wheels on my car for 4 years now. tire size is 225 50 16 and they barrly clear the rear strut. You also have to notch the rear forward angled lower control arm even with spacers on them or else the wheels will rub. I made 530awhp last year and hooked up pretty good with 225's.

FWD :)

I'm curious about your clearance in the front though. How much room do you have between the tire and strut?

Right now I'm either going with 235/55r16 or I might go all out with spacers, extended studs and some really fat tires. Not sure!

[4g63tcrazy]

Great news! Somehow I got best of both worlds! FAT tire and no need for spacers. :) I ended up putting on 245/50r16's. I only have 2 on right now cause my work didn't have the others in stock. Those will get put on tomorrow. I think these wheels look SICK. I'm really excited to get the car down on all 4 and see how it looks! On to the pics!

(don't mind the thick layer of dust on the car ;))

LOOK AT THAT CLEARANCE!!

Less then a mm and it does not rub. I will be taking the hammer to the perch though to give me added comfort.
