Was a big install week/weekend. Got me and a friends header in along with mine. Had to do a few tricks to get that all settled. Then test fitted the wheels today! And everything is set with that thanks to to my friend Jesse. Said fuck it and took an angle grinder to the rear fender lip. Really really small roll in the front with some heat and wooden end to a hammer.
It was a long process of adjusting the rear camber arms to get them to fit. Fronts literally had literally no clearance and only needed a slight roll, like a few millimeters. Grinded the rears all the way down than cambered them. They have a bit more camber than needed but I'll fix that later. Feels good to have these one.
The wheels are Gramlight 57xtreme in Graphite 17x9 +40 with Bridgestone re11a 245/40/17. These things make a huge difference. They grip like hell... I could already push them 10mph harder than my other tires and they weren't even warm and it is 48 degrees out. Car feels a bit stiffer now. I actually need a new RMM because of how much stickier these beasts are. I'm getting wheel hop on bumpier turns when pushing it foot to the floor. Cars turn in feels a bit more heavy and a little slower but once it turns in it pulls hard and sticks. Steering is a bit heavier as well but nothing degrading. Very satisfied with them already.
I'll get good pictures soon. But, here are some for now:
