Going to a few other shops this Monday. And by putting on the stock suspension. I meant staying on stock suspension, for good...who am I kidding that prolly won't happen. Anyways thanks for the support gentlemen.

a few from the weekend

What tires did you use ?

I have a friend that bought those a while back and just has them sitting in the garage.

Yuuuuuup! Gonna really see how this thing does on MPG's.

I was never too into the stance scene but these cars look sharp when lowered with a nice set of wheels.

i'm on 225/35/18 nankang NS-IIs nice stretch and less rubbing than my 225/35/18 goodyear eagle f1s. You can either do 215/40/18 or 225/35/18, it just depends on how much stretch you want and what your ride height is.

also you need at least an 8mm spacer in order to clear the front stuts. i went with 8mm up front and 15mm in the back.

Your mom was in the driver's seat.

[AlpineE90]

What are the specs of the rims?

18x9 +44 front (after 8mm spacer)
18x9 +37 rear (after 15mm spacer)

[2000bora2.0]

18x9 +44 front (after 8mm spacer)
18x9 +37 rear (after 15mm spacer)

Awesome. Thanks man. I have some B7 S4 split seven spokes I'm gonna rock, and they're 18x8 +42. Was wondering about clearance after I read your post, but looks like I'm good to go.

Yeah I got a suggestion, your **** doesn't fit I don't understand people getting wheels and tires that fit as your picture demonstrates.

Probably too late, but heat the fenders carefully to reduce the chance of cracking the paint. Needs more negative camber...you have to stay pretty low to pull off that kind of fitment. What are those? 9.5" et 45?

yup 19x9.5 et45. i plan on going to get an alignment and adjust the camber

[platinumedVR6]

Ive rolled a handful of fenders. Just go kinda a slow and don't force it.

Heating isn't necessary IMO, and just risks the chance of bubbling the paint.

Good luck with the fender rolling, theres not really much to roll back there. You could try a mild pull for a little more clearance.

what size tire are you using? raise the back, dial in some negative camber and maybe get a tire with a smaller sidewall. Even my setup rubbed like that (and cracked/burned the paint on my fenders) until I swapped out the goodyears for slightly skinnier nankangs and went from -2.6 to -3.0 rear camber

[LEBlackRob]

well this if the first good shot i have of my new and current set up i need to get some bigger spaces to fill out the fenders

[LEBlackRob]

No not more than normal I just say what I think... sometimes it comes out as being bitter but it's just my personal thoughts. I mean, why would anyone let their tires and or rims rub on the fenders? To me that is just I don't think I'm alone thinking this but maybe I am.

[CaliSteezR32]

Color is always by personal preferance, and yes, these are legit OEM Phaeton challenge wheels, hollow spokes. Haven't seen them bolted onto a JSW yet.

Hahaha, coincidentally these were already powder coated this color when I bought them, but I got a super good deal for them and I couldn't pass them up. I really just bought them to get off of the stock 17's, so I'll be switching it up again soon. I totally dig your car btw and when I saw that shot you posted up I was like, damn, dudes gonna think I'm biting his color scheme, which was not the case.

Well, its a good thing my fender liners and tires only touch when I'm fully air'd out, and isn't this the JSW stance thread?? Just wondering, because some of you posting comments in here don't seem to grasp the concept of what stance is these days, just saying..

[charlie.macpherson]
