kinda like it as is. Thinking of opening it up and doing the mesh but haven't decided. Maybe just go back to stock

uploadfromtaptalk1423950526220.jpg at discount tire, they can't figure out how to get the wheels off

[avitsefdrof]

are the lug bolts stuck? or am i missing something....seems pretty straight forward.

[burundon]

That's what I thought they broke 2 sockets before one of the fronts would come off.

success in the end

Need to do some tweaking to get the rears to fit

[burundon]

Any suggestions on wheel spacers to increase the offset a bit in the rear. Getting to much contact on the spring perch

[jbibb1]

Those look great! As far as not being able to get the wheels off, that's why I always have anti seize on the lugs - never had a problem since

Selling my stock steel http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/pts/4894440156.html if anyone is interested

Sure we can help but more info would help, what size are the skins, what is the offset of the wheels, since you are rubbing on the spring perch are you rubbing a lot or just a little, if just a little you could buy Aspire Monroe rear struts, the perch is maybe 1/4 to 1/2'' higher so that would help with clearance. good luck.

195/50/15 I was too impatient to order a 45 series tire. And I love the way these look. I've added 1/4 inch spacers, and was still getting pretty solid contact. I shaved a bit off of the spring perch with a Dremel and then beat it smooth with a hammer. Tire sidewall Still making contact with the perch and a bit on the strut body. With the wheel off the ground I can "floss" a piece of paper through but once it has weight on it it makes contact again. No mo' Flossin' So I guess I'll go 1/2 inch spacer and take a hammer to the fenders. Just need to do the lug conversion or I'll be on 1 thread of the wheel stud.

I spent some more time grinding on the rear strut and it's still making contact. I started reading more about spacers, and I'm not sure I want a 1/2 incher. So now I'm thinking of doing the hub centric ones but they are an inch and a half or more, not sure how I'd make room for the wheel on the outside without some serious fender action. Ugh. I figured out also that I had some play in the bearing. Took a look at it and everything was good, but the axle nut was loose, barely finger tight ...shouldn't it have a cotter pin ? Snugged it up a bit and no more wobble.
