HP Lighting (EVO) installed pics

Hello guys been registered for a while but never got the confirmation mail.. so i re-registered with a new name it finally this time i got the mail.

So here's my first post on the ORG. Finally.

here are the pics of my Max with HP Lightning EVO installed in the front.

>> Click Click <<


just wanted to show how it looks since i seen many GD on it but no one ever post the pics after they got it installed.

Package info

Size 18 x 8
Color Hyper Silver Light
offset 35

tire size 245 40 18 ZR

no rubbing with maxspeed springs.

EDIT: the pics were before the spacers. you will need spacers for both the front and the back for it to fit and look right.

Spacers are mandotory for the rear or it won't go in flushed without it. The fronts you just need the spaces to clear the centercaps.

Umm... May I ask why? Do those wheels not have the correct center bore? Ive actually been looking at these too.

Most wheel manufacturers design their wheels with a center bore large enough to fit on most cars. Therefore, since wheel manufactures make their center bore large enough to fit most cars, most wheel fitments have a gap between the hub and the center bore.

Hey you put the wheels on the wrong side of the car. Make sure your rotation arrow on the tire goes forward. Looks nice otherwise.

you'll definately need some hub centrics if you don't have 'em already. They look good. Why no pics of the rears?

95% of aftermarket wheels have a 73mm hub bore. You need a 73mm to 66.1mm so that the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. You should get all four, usually they only give you two of them. They are cheap, should be $10-15 for all 4.

haha there's no scratches on my paint in the pictures... mostly just dirt n dust etc.. it was raining the day before didn't get a chance to wash the car.

Bought hubcentric rings from discount tires the other day. 15 bucks + tax

No shaking prob (^___^)-b

also did away with the spacers didn't needed them as i previously thought.

I'll take more pics after i shave off some of the axle bolt off so i can fit the center caps in without wheel spacers. Those spacers are dangerous, even discount tires and other retail wheels and tires places refuses to do work on cars with spacers.
