new tires and rims

[mac10chap]

got my Nitto NT555r 305/35/18 out back, NT555 285/35/18 in front and threw the rears on a new set of 18x10 deep dish FR500's...

Looks good man but do you have any issues with the front tires rubbing when you turn.

 

[mac10chap]

not at all, and i've got the eibach pro kit as well. no rubbing in the rear either. i dialed in the d-specs for what they would be at the drag strip and did a hard launch in discount tire's parking lot. with all the squat, it didnt touch the tires.

by the way, can you notice that the rear center caps stick out a tad? stupid replica's wont fit the FRPP center caps. against the law according to discount. we had to tape the inside to make them fit, and they still stick out about an 1/8"

So how low are you sitting? 1 /12

Looks awesome man. You can see that the rear center cap sticks out a bit, but its really not that noticable. Are you sure they are going to stay in there??

lol, yeah. My buddy told me that they have to do it all the time. They have some really strong tape that they wrapped the inner lip with a few times. Then, we had to tap it in with a mallet. I've tried as hard as i can to pull it out and it wont budge. It would either take someone prying it out with a screw driver, maybe a pair of large vise grips, or having to tap it out from the inside as with any center cap.

I'm not quite sure exactly how low i am sitting. It honestly sits a bit higher than with the BFG KDWS's that i had before and they were 275/35/18's all around. I only know that cause i no longer scrape my bumper on my driveway when i back out. I'll throw a tape on it later and post the results.
