i jacked up my car today and i started to put them on the rear then remembered there are bolts that i think hold on the rear disks there is a small gap but its off right now.

what do i do now? i am thinking if i take out the bolts because maybe the wheel adpators will hold them on because i have studs now. but they need to be cut shorter.

If you are talking about the two button head screws that hold the rear rotors to the hub, then its okay to remove them.

im sorry, but that car is hideous. you obviously have some talent, so i recommend redoing the body work before you paint it. the craftsmanship looks great, but the lines don't flow with the car.

Much nicer then the stockers! The rims look great on the 7. Are you going to keep the red stripe on them?


Also you need to lay down some more marks on the drive way... I can still see concrete

openshot, what offset are your rims? and how much clearance do you have between the strut and the wheel? I'm thinking of doing the same thing as a temporary solution. Car looks good with the rims by the way.

If those are honda wheels it's probably 44mm offset same like my wheels.

Car is looking awesome!! No need to repaint.... it looks great.

Now you need low profile tires and slam it!!

i am repainting it the same colour the reason why is because i used walmart paint as a base coat and its starting to bubble the paint not the body (same thing is going on with my civic) and i have some scratches from my sisters dumb friends that had metal on there pants and having there pants scrap cross the car.

but i just got a job working from 11pm to 7am so my first pay will go new tires (one has a small leak) and clear coat.
