finally tried the wheels on

ok so i got my 18's before i went on vacation and couldnt try them on, i got back yesterday and couldnt wait any longer . the fronts have about a 1/2 inch clearance before hitting the strut(no tires on yet) the rears like 1/8 ". the rears are definately gonna need spacers, fronts depend on the tires. i sould have them mounted ny the ned of the week though.

ps. i took pics in case chris doesnt believe me the sould be on my site by tonight.

its ok i need them to tuck as much as possible so its ok, i think that the rears are the only thing presenting a problem right now, hopefully with spacers i should be ok, but im afraid that the trailing arm will rub because it does now(with the 16's) when im all the way down. i may have to relocate the arms slightly when i go lower. i dont think the rubber bands im putting on will present much of a problem

That's actually sweet, J!!! I've always been partial to multi-spoke wheels as opposed to 5-spokes... Oh, and I might hit you up on giving me some pointers on your lights.
