no more tranning wheels

step one: remove these


step two: open these


step three: bolt on rears and take pics




step four: do the same on the fronts



step five: **** forgot tires

step six: wait for others to crak on me for buying wheels and not painting my bumper

Thanks, I wish the garage was mine though. What can I say my dad has a really nice place to work on cars.

Are you getting rid of those spacers? Because I just so happen to be in the market for a set. If you're interested in selling, you may have your buyer right here!

Anyway, nice flush offset you've got going on. Keep it up.

sweet!!!! take pix of the fender gaps.. i want to see this... i got 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear... rears were no problem but when i put the fronts on OMG (wrong size 235/45) the first tires i put on them i though they were gonna catch on fire rubbing on the springs, there were smoking a lot!!.... but you should be safe with some 205 in the front with a 6mm spacer.. worked for me

I have to say I was suprised the 245/45/17s work out back. Granted I did roll(not pull) the rear fender.
