Thanks, brotha! Can't wait to slap them on this weekend.

They are 19x9.5 +22 front and 19x10 +28 rear.

Your car looks awesome with them on! My tires are 235 front and 265 rear...I really hope I don't rub or anything. We'll see!

Most people do a 265 rear it seems.
I did 225 and 255 - stock fenders and stock camber. I rub on the inner fender liner on really large dips/bumps so I need to take the wheels off and figure out where I'm rubbing. I'm lowered on Tein STechs.

Yeah that's definitely my biggest concern. I'm entertaining the idea of air ride, but I'm not sure if that's financially reasonable right now or if I should just go for a used set of coils.

One things for sure it's always $$$$$$$!!

Put the Forgestar's on! I want to see them.

and WOW, you ran into a bad stretch of luck there. Hope everything became fine!

Thanks man!

It's gotten better so far...I guess since I daily drive the car, it's expected. Was almost tempted to get a beater, but this car was supposed to be it.

Then I realized all the awesome mods I could do and it spiraled out of control from there, lol.

No kidding! My car is a money pit! I would love air suspension, but I blew a lot of car funds on turbos soooo lol maybe someday!

Yeah man, definitely, then link me to your build, I'd love to see! I feel like there aren't a lot of us!

ComptonAssDaniel · 07-30-2015, 08:18 PM

Finally got the wheels on. Had to trim off some of the fender liner by where the bumper tab is. Was rubbing on bumps and dips. Still actually rubs slightly on harder bumps, but much better. On H&R Sports right now, couldn't imagine being any lower unless I had air or something...

Here's a little teaser:

More photos to come...just need to get her cleaned up from the rain today.

Thanks brotha! The M3 is still money though, I loved it when I had it but sucks I lost that lip or I still would have had it.

I'm @highsocietydc

What's your IG?

Crimson red actually looks pretty nice. Wrap the roof black!

Yeah, I was thinking about that! Probably go with a gloss black wrap or semi-gloss if I can find it.

Camman · 07-31-2015, 09:53 AM

This car is my goal!

I would be perfectly happy at this point. I'm going coils but man those H&R sports are perfect here.
