yeah, but who doesnt unless you run bogarts or billet specialties. it was worth the work. and i didnt have to take too much off that im worried about safety. i used a 3/16 spacer as well to make them fit with out grinding too much.

Looks good, but as posted above, your tires are on backwards.

yeah..thanks for noticing that fellas.... i was in such a hurry to put them on i forgot to make sure they were on the right side. i just screwed them on the car and backed out of the garage to get some pics and see how the stance was. never even crossed my mind at that time.
