congrats and good luck.
the offset looks wrong ,If the car were lowered to a performance spec
It looks like the wheels would rub when the suspension is loaded in a hard turn.
My $.02

we measured the offset and it is right...after we put the second tire on with air it came down nicely...it lined up. I dont' think I will be touching the settings...perhaps a bit lower but for now the car runs very solid and I am happy with the stance.

If you guys show up at GMU, let me know - it's 5 minutes from me. I know there's a S14 or something meet up? Some sort of Nissan? Or is this the Eagle/Talon thingee?
Getting my car back Monday or Tuesday I think. Turned into $6k of various clutch system repairs
Ugh.

It is a DSM (diamond star motors aka mitsubishi) meet and also the teckademics new video release, but we can have our own meet in the corner lol. I am going with a friend to check out a ML55 he wants to buy in the morning so I'll be at Mason around 2. Its supposed to be good weather. If you guys wanna do something else I'm down. I am picking up the 55 in an hour and have an urge to driveeeeeeeeee!

Benzz,
Sorry, I had company all weekend so didn't make it out to anything this weekend...I did get the OEM bolts and managed to get the wheels on the car Sunday...what a difference! I will post pics up tonight when I get the car home because if I don't I will probably get banned! LOL

Heard you say something about black wheel hardware. Don’t know if these will work with your wheels but they are out there. They are sold by RUF auto center in Texas. Nice purchase btw.
