Cvcrcr's project/fix-up thread (version 1.1)
I would assume only 5mm would be needed, however, I was going to get a 15mm hub centric spacer.
I was thinking the same, but I don't that type of patience LOL
Pics of the new wheels that my g/f took. woot!
They need to be cleaned, and the driver rear wheel is rubbing slightly, mainly because of the body damage I think. I really do not want to raise the car up at all, so my options are to either:
- add a little more camber which would be somewhat tedious to get it 100% where I want it on both sides since the alignment shop will not adjust camber. I would have to adjust the camber, get an alignment, check readings and repeat until camber is set to where I want. Lifetime alignment plan FTW!
- "gently" hit the inside of rear driver wheel well (where the damage is) and make the room. I would really love to have the rear fenders rolled and flared like the fronts, but that will happen when the car gets body work and painted.
Oh yea, I ended up giving him a set of old headlights (cracked), old tail lights, a random 12" slim fan, and my rear lip (still haven't cleaned the bumper LOL) + $240.

Thanks guys.. generally I am getting positive responses from everyone. :sweet: My brother is the only one that does not care for them. lol
I raised the rear up 1/4" of on each side which made the rubbing not as bad. However, if I take a right turn going over 20 I rub slightly. (flat surface of course, bumps? rubbing for sure). Still have to get in there, add a little more camber and see if I can get the rear fenders flared like I have in the front.
Other than the wheels, I did almost nothing this weekend.
Lazy me!

Nows a good oportunity to get some body work experience 
you should try to pop out that rear quarter panel if you can reach it from the wheel well (idk if you can or not just an idea) and then roll the fenders...i dont see why they'd be rubbing though, are they wider than stock wheels or somethin? U probably mentioned that earlier and i missed it ha
