Where's The Beef? On My New C.C.W. Wheels...Pictures...

Remove this ad
o.k. - Don't bust my balls on the dirty car, wheel choice or the beefcakes...

Note to self and others - When ordering please tell them about any aftermarket Arms. In my case I completely F-balled it with my BMR Toes and Arms.

The result today (rears) was a 5mm, yes 5mm spacer and a full (1) rotation on the cambers. The first spacers 3mm slightly rubbed and left metal shavings

I'm all the way down on the rear Ground Control and haven't heard any rubbing or bottoming out. The fronts need to go up as they are (too low for now) plus a full alignment within a few days.

I am now in the market for a fender kit for both fronts and rear - Most likely my friends from Specter or D3 can help me out...

I rubbed a few times on the way home and know the track will eat the fronts up if I keep it there so change will be happening soon.

Specs -

Toyo R888 - 275/35/18 front & 295/30/18 rear
Wheels - C.C.W. - C-14's cut to a 12 spoke instead of 14
Front - 9.5's , Rear - 10's
Lugs - All locking lugs - Gorilla

Urb -

I'm sticking out slightly off the wells and it looks a little ghetto so a flair job not to be mistaken with another "job" needs to blend in all corners...I'll still keep the "murdered" look

$2,800.00 & change - C.C.W. - includes shipping
$70.00 - Lugs
Toyo's - $355.00 X 4 down from 380's from stores

Under $4,500.00! Can't get much better than that...
