Default Our new '07 Monte SS w/18x8.5" Dub Dirty Dog's

It only took a week before I started the mods (it's a shame when you have an addiction!). Anyway, here's a look at our new '07 SS with 18x8.5" Dub Dirty Dogs w/+45mm offset. everything fits fine (no rubbing up front) but I can tell by measuring that the rear fender lips will need to be rolled about 1/4" for adequate clearance. There's no rubbing out back right now under normal driving conditions but under a heavy load or severe bump the sidewalls run the risk of getting chewed. I would have liked to have gone to a 20" wheel but ride quality is more important to my wife since this is her daily driver and this car already has a noticable stiff tire in an 18" 50 series.

The Eibach lowering springs are already on order too....can't wait until they get here. They're supposed to ship in less than two weeks!
