no don;t run 225 tires.

215 or smaller only.

if you want to go really low, you'll have to camber the rear wheels in -4 or so.

sport springs probably won't cut it, with such aggressive wheels you'll probably need coil overs. i think it would look funny on just springs.

also, you will probably have to have the front fenders rolled if you DO go low.

i'm noctournal, my friend. my sleep schedule is totally messed up.

it's 3:36am haha

and do everything piece by piece. i know you want to finish your car as quickly as possible but if you're on a budget take it one step at a time. it might take you twice as long to see your finished project, but at least it'll all be quality work.

yup 8.5 is going to be fine.


trust me when i say this, the genreal rule is suspension first, then wheels.

if you put wheels on first your car will look like a monster truck! i'm buying my alphards next week, but won't be putting them on until i get my new coilovers in february.

yeah it's going to be hard for me to see those wheels everyday and not be able to put them on for another 2 months!

i'm already on coilovers but they're cheap eBay ones that don't go that low so i'd rather have my car sit proper before i put on the wheels then risk looking funny riding high on those wheels (another example of taking the cheap way out... i have to buy coilovers TWICE!)
