Angle Grinding & you
Angle Grinding & you Hey guys, just finished fitting these suckers on....
18x10.5 Z06s with 305/35s
I had to grind the **** out of the bump stops, probably a good 1/8th of an inch or more. Lots o' sparks.
Anyhow, I need to clean the car up and get some more pictures in here, but they seems to fit just fine, although I might need to hammer a bit more in the passenger rear.
Also, don't ask why my exhaust looks weird, angle of the picture is off slightly.

Damn... not going to win any size comparisons today 
I want to know what you guys do when you have your car suspended in the air.
Do your bump stops rub? From what I have gathered from going trough countless threads, it only happens to some people.
I know for sure I could fit bigger tires on the car, and nittos in general run small, but I would need to grind some more because as soon as the suspension is unloaded, bump stops are right in the way.

My drag radials are on a 15x10 prostar with 7.5 backspace, and my tires look way wider than those, and they dont rub at all driving around, and I dont think they rub when the car is in the air either.
Simple fix for jacking up your car: lift the rearend by placing the jack under the differential. This lifts both sides evenly at the same time, and keeps the suspension loaded, so you don't have to worry about it hanging off the bump stops. Once it's high enough, you can put jack stands under the frame rails or put them under the axles.

my wheels cleard the bumpstops. 19x12s. my tire are roughly 27" tall. today i did remove mine totally. i cut mine off and smoothed out the underside and i also heated up and massaged in the entire spring bulge so i can tuck my 74mm offset wheels

And cutting my bumpstops off was, and never will be an option unfortunately.
Too bumpy in AZ (constant construction work everywhere).
Also for the width of my tires compared to some of you guys.... is 12.5 not wide or do the pictures give no justice the width? or both
Thanks for that, I don't know why I forgot to do that

.. So thats why i had a problem, but uh you shouldntBtw Nice avatar
And does your sig mean NicN tune ? .. Now, this is easily rectified by putting your jackstand underneath the diff (which I was kindly reminded about), however I forgot to mention one thing about that.
One of the only GOOD, trustworthy shops I have had experience with is not a drive-on lift, therefore my suspension is completely unloaded when they are working underneath my car.
I don't think I have heard of a NicN, but this is the NicD I'm talking about

heres a pic of 325s
i will admit must be the angle in which pics are taken. cause my 325s dont look wide and they are huge
To clarify, I'm not hitting the bottom of the bumpstop, but rather the metal "side" of it when the car is in the air.

However, I have had some JARRING hits when these fucktards have done road constuction. I'm talking like 6-8 inch sheer drops from pavement to dirt road.
I do plan on lowering the car eventually (year or so), so it might not be wise to take out the bump stops still?
Also, I will definitely get on posting some more pics... need to wash the car, and take it down to ASU for some sweet parking garage pics (structure 7 for all you people that live in Tempe
) its been done before. and for now just remove the stop. if you believe youll hit then just reinstall them. for me i cut mine totally out. so i would have to fab and relocate mine. i dont plan to be lowerd much at all.
