wraedeohed Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Sorry about the lighting, the sun was on the opposite sides today. Had to use a filter so you can see the tires.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160403/868b7c1768b72e89062c0c092e6a9210.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraedeohed Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm getting a little over 2" of tire clearance from what I just measured. So the .8" drop on the Blacks should be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhelmuth87 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Little update. Bought some 235/45 for my stock LG wheels. Super happy with it. Wish I could lower it but between the cost, how far I drive, and how bad the roads are around here it's not worth it. Bought a set of moteki sr35 lugs too. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160410/5c10850e6c5ebf988cafb4ab18347016.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160410/8f05e5e8faa162aa0e021216c4417875.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160410/8cbc216cb70542da79005ba36f4e0a3b.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160410/db402d77bbc17fba6da9140647ac04d7.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160410/697ec308c5b354fff5b74579c7e5e697.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Have you considered spacers, they would help your fenders look more filled. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhelmuth87 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Yeah I have but I haven't found any spacers i like and trust enough knowing the hubcentric lip isn't on the spacers. The weight of the wheel is put in the lugs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Most of the good quality spacers are hub centric. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellesedil Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Yeah I have but I haven't found any spacers i like and trust enough knowing the hubcentric lip isn't on the spacers. The weight of the wheel is put in the lugs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Even if you were hubcentric, the vast majority of the weight would be "on the lugs" in a manner of speaking. The hubs are not designed to support the weight of the car. They are designed to ensure that the wheel is centered. After all, it's only a thin metal circle that sticks out. When you torque your lug nuts, you're not torquing them to the specified rating to ensure that they stay tight. You're torquing them so that the proper amount of force is reached when squishing the wheel against the hub. It's this force, and the resulting friction between these two surfaces, that supports the weight of your car. As long as you're not getting any vibration from a wheel that's off-center and you are torqued to spec, you're fine as-is. Rings would simply make installing the wheels next time easier and mostly error-proof.

wraedeohed Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Are there any downsides to using spacers? I mean seriously, I've heard everything from they'll mess up you alignment to, they destroy wheel bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Using a properly installed, quality spacer is no more damaging than using a lower offset wheel. It is the same thing but in 2 pieces instead of one. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
