I always thought the way they make the rear wheel recede more in than the front looks kinda stupid and always wanted some spacers to fix that - plus the rear track is like .7" narrower than the front anyway. Well finally found some for hubcentric spacers for cheap so got them!

Silly look recessed wheel


After


Of course with my luck - the during part couldn't be simple.... no... some gorilla had to torque the nuts too like 600lb*ft

Those are some high end tools you are using. Is this tree branch Snap On?

On a more serious note, it looks good.

Haha it was Snapped Off indeed. I was looking for something to cushion the metal-on-metal contact and could barely reach the branch let alone trying to make a clean cut.

Those look like a good fender gap - not too low. How much drop you got?

They are too narrow for my liking. The further out you poke them the skinnier you can tell they are.

With H&Rs the drop is about 1.5"

FYI I was happily surprised to find that my 2000 I30 16" rims weigh significantly less than the OEM 1997-8-9 16" I30t rims, the ones you have chromed on your ride.

That doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as the old cadillac look...
