Re: Cptnslw

The tire size with the offset of those wheels is the biggest issue for rubbing, 225 or 215s would allow a lot more clearance. You could also try to get a little more rear camber with an alignment to also help out with the rears.

A LITTLE CAMBER GOES A LONG WAY . a lot of camber goes farther ....... I am going through some wheel fitment issues as well. I have solved them but it was fun and unorthodox .
All i will say is 19x10.5 is the frikin max without modifying fenders

Here's to hoping that an alignment this Friday will resolve the minor rubbing issues I have. Otherwise, anyone want to buy tires for cheap?

Got her in for an oil change and wheel alignment then spent half the day doing a thorough detail from inside and out:




No more rubbing from what I can see and as of today, I love Autoglym! :love:

Having seen it in person yesterday, the car is coming together quite nicely Don!

Re: Cptnslw

Agreed! I told Don when he was at the dealership that I wanted to retract my statement about the decals on the wheels. They actually look really good in real life!

^^^Yep, that was my exact thoughts yesterday!

Re: Cptnslw

Thanks, party people! After talking to several people, I don't think I'm going for the blue ones but I have 'em handy if I ever want to change things up.

Since I do take this car across the border, I don't know if I should have a different set for long-distance driving (18s on thicker tires?). If that's the case, I'll have 4(!) sets in the garage:

- Winter
- Summer
- AutoX (soon)
- Long-distance (maybe?)

Oh, lawdy.

Sure did haha! Thanks

How are the pix looking at your end, people? It looked bright enough when I was editing on my laptop but it seems dark on my other computer...

Re: Cptnslw

The color looks great on my end. Wish I could get a full size version for my work computer!
