What do we have here?

Finally got a chance to get the tires mounted on the wheels and balanced:





Pics are not the greatest, hope to get everything on the car within the next two weeks.

Been there done that. Swapped four off one car onto another with nothing but two manual hand-crank jacks and one jack stand. (Gave him my wheels, he gave me his) Took me three hours and I couldn't move my arms the next day.

No, I cant stand TPMS, working on a solution to block the light on the dash as well.

Nah, I am real patient when it comes to this stuff, I enjoy collecting lots of parts and installing them all at once for a drastic change. Plus friends don't let friends ride aftermarket wheels and stock height

Actually those are not even my keys, I was borrowing my friends camera that was in his car. My keys don't look like janitors keys, LOL...

for reference:



my keys, nice and simple.

Nice wheels, but I would've went with a lower offset. Now get lowered and mount it ASAP!

Cant go much lower on the 09's. I will prob add a 5mm spacer in the rear to help flush it out, but the fronts will prob rub as is.

The plan is not to rub, Ill be using 4 camber bolts in the front to dial in max neg camber, and Tanabe DF210's.

If the rears are not close to being flush I plan to add a 3-5mm H&R spacer.
