I called KW's main office here in the states in sanger Ca, they sold them to me for jobber , which is about the same price you can get them on e-bay , but if i ever have a problem with them i know who to call.Also they have a lifetime warranty.

Hi Team,
I ordered a set of F14s in piano black. Can anyone tell me if this would work.
The car has totally stock suspension.
It is a 2005 and I would like to put 295/30s on the back and 245/40s on the front.
Thanks!

I tried to get ahold of Killernoodle for a set and no response, so hoping that the stock trailing arms will clear at-least 275s

I have the 19x10 on the rear with 275 /40/19 , i've had a terrible time with scrubbing issues in the front and rear , not so bad with the front , had the rear fenders lightly rolled , def going to have to have it more aggresively rolled, as for the inside of the rim on the rear , no scrubbing with a 275 .

The correct outer diameter is 26.7", but you have a 27.7" tire.

1. TurninConcepts sells $75 bushings that replace the stock rubber bushing that your trailing arms connect to. Those OEM rubber bushings are like pencil eraser softness, and definitely compress 1/8"-1/4" during bumps, cornering, and acceleration.
2. If you have a Ground Control kit, you might want to try 100 in-lbs stiffer rear springs.

I started out with the H&R springs, Waaaay too soft , so after wasting money on them and a leveling kit and labor, I spoke with Johnny O'connell and he suggested the kw's so i bought the KW variant 3's , wow what a difference, so i guess bushings will be my next purchase.

I got my Forgestars in and they are sweet!!! I had some old centercaps laying around and decided to cut the mounts off the back and double taped it to the center. What do you guys think? I'm on the fence. They look good from afar but you know they stick out as it isnt a direct fit. Waiting on beter solution/custom centercaps.
