What are the specs on your new wheels and tires?

I know you said 17s and I can see you have a bit of tuck in the front. I wanna set my ride height to something close to this, but I'm worried I won't be able to make turns lol.

17x7.5 +38 wrapped in 205/40's
I technically don't have fender liners anymore, just enough to cover the opening to the engine bay haha. And also because of a nice good roll and a little pull, I can max out at the front with a pinky finger gap between wheel tread and edge of fender at full lock.

But at this height, I have to take the widest angles I can on driveways/dips and that's where the squeaking & scratching starts when the body leans over to one side as I turn haha. Nothing crazy loud though, it's bearable

I've raised her up a little from maxed out in the front though because she hauls the fam/friends just as much as I ride solo. Other than that, it's as good as gold!

Damn that's even more aggressive than my setup. I'm 17x7 and +42 and 205/45. I guess I could ride that low with my setup if I wanted to then except up in Canada I'm gunna need to keep my fender liners lol!

Ride looks great, by the way

My offset is only 4mm lower than yours! But the half inch extra width stretches out my tires just a hair. Your 45 might be your obstacle to going as low as where I'm at as far as turning wise maybe-- but that's just a thought. Wait-- you're running bags aren't you?! You got no problem if you're gunna run air

Thanks man! I'm still inspired by your dash conversion with that climate control-- I need to do that one day

Yeah but I still wanna be as low as possible at ride height haha. Parking heights gunna be as slammed as I can then no one can steal my ride or wheels cause they'll be stuck under the fenders lol!damn can't wait to be looow

Thanks, hopefully I'll catch one of your SoCal meets. I'll be road tripping around mid to late August/early sept. Can't wait to see your awesome rides!

Dang haha roll hard! I wish I was on bags-- rolling height would be a little higher than where I am now; I have to avoid every single speed bump and crazy driveway.. Scraping frame almost becomes a drag at times. Almost.

Fasho! If you make it to one of our meets, make sure you don't park next to me or you'll make me look bad LOL kidding!
