a few things....
ok, i don't know if you guys remember the kid who bought those 16" momo's, with the +50 offset. well that was me, and i finally got them on, and i have a few things to say...
first off, i notice the handling was a lot better, because of the wider tires. the rims are 16x7. however, they sit REEEEAAAL close to the coils(the twisty things i'm not exactly sure what you call them). especially in the back. the back only clears the springs by like a half-inch. is this going to give me any problems? they clear the brakes fine. also, i was thinking about getting spacers because i can't fit my caps on, to cover the lugnuts. but looking at it, i don't know if i can fit spacers on and also fit the lugnuts on, the bolts look a little small for that. will i have to get a whole new mount for the wheels?
also, i got new headlights, but i don't think they are the ones i wanted. i wanted to get the xenon bulbs, but when the guy did a search for 98 max's, all he came up with were 9004, and i think the xenon ones are 9007 or whatever. which ones should i install? thanks in advance.

Those would be springs. You can take those off and throw them away if you want. They are just for looks.

yea, that's what the guy said, who i bought the rims from. but he said they fit on there jsut fine, and they do, they just sit a little too close for my comfort. also, what is the part that i need to replace for the side lights, next to the headlights? cause they are waaay too yellow, now that i have the white lights.
