Edit: Time to clean and organize this to resemble a build thread though this isn't much of a build IMO

I'll start this story with what most people including me think is the most interesting part: the wheels. I called this chapter in my "sandwich story" the bacon because fitting low offset 20s on a CC can easily result in "Bacon fenders". Urban dictionary is a bit slow so I'll define it as best I can.
Bacon Fenders: The result of being too low while turning and smashing wheel and fender resulting in bacon-like dents along said fender. May result in "scene points". Sorry, I have no definition for that one :laugh:
Once upon a time...
Test fit on stock suspension... Uh oh.
Stayed positive and thought maybe after airride, it'll camber in enough to make fender and lip meet.
Nope.
So maybe a little negative camber will do it.
Nope. Maxed out at -3.8
So here I am now. Dropped off the wheels at Perfect Metal Finishes for a much needed lip repolish and having the back pad milled
Random pick drop:
This shot was before all the work to get the wheels to tuck but I still love this shot because my boy AKdub914 took it in this prime location. I'll have to revisit once the R-Line pieces are on.
