IF you will not remove the APC stickers, I will come and take your wheels!

Not unless I beat you do it. Then I will sell them to get the same wheel in 16x7.

just remember, that fender gap is because when I lowered the car back to the ground the e-brake was holding my car up so thats why it looks like it has a 3" gap. it actually is about 1 3/4" gap mabey 2" cause when I went to leave back to home I released my e-brake and my whole left side of the car droped down to its stock height. .

man what are you talkin about?
sorry to say, but I dont know how the e-brake will make your car look higher...
Even when it does settle, u're gonna have a whole fist of space in the front.. just gotta face it..
and start saving your bread to lower...
peace

nah man, its just like sitting at a dead stop on a hill at about 30 degree angle just about and pulling the e-brake and letting go of the brake. when you do that, the rear raises up by about 2" more or less. I'll get a picture of it tomorrow, this time I'll let the e-brake go and let the car sit down like it supposed to. I'm gonna do it with the new rim on so I can get a better look at the fender gap.

alright man, but dont wear yourself out jacking the car up and down a bunch of times just to change that rim, then take it right back off.

yea you will definatly need to lower that thing cuz right about now it looks like a 4X4 lol. Mine did too but then i bought my coilovers...wow big difference. But i am definatly likin that rim...when u get the next 3 your ride will be hotness

[Magny]

got my 2nd rim in today, gonna mount them and go ricer mode for 3 months, but will get pics with them on and also settle the dispute about the e-brake thing with a pic too.

i'd wait to put em all on if i were you that way you wont have 4 tires wearing unevenly. Thats just what i'd do.

[Magny]

bah once I get the front two on after I get my clutch renewed, I am gonna attempt a few sec. burnout. never gotten my car to do a burnout at all with euro touring tires, so why not. anyways it doesnt really matter about the tread wear, cause these tires arent the ones I really wanted anyways. I wanted nitto xtremes, but the people at tirerack.com dont have them, so gonna have to suffer for a while and a long ass one at that. but still it will come eventually.

anyways pics of them installed and locked down are at this site:

as for that fender gappage, the original steelies mounted left me with a 3 finger gap and now with these rims on I am left with a 2 finger gap so roughly 1 3/4" gap compared to a 2 1/2" gap before

ok, your right, after removing all the crap in my trunk (including my heavy ass sub system amp and all), all the junk in my rear seating area, it raised the car back to its stock location of 2.25" gap, so it was because of all the weight on the rear that was holding it down.
