Welcome a new member of the family: Balto!

Thanks guys! It's like a surprise every time I pass by the car now , kind of do this , then this . I'm sure it'll wear off as I get used to them, but it's such a drastic change that right now I can't help it.



Or maybe it was just the wait that makes it like that.

Looks good! SO much better!

Need more turbo or supercharger.

After I got them all installed, I washed and waxed the car and took it out to our local neighborhood undeveloped subdivision for some pictures.

Looking back at my pictures when I bought the car, the difference is quite astounding.

Back on July 10th, 2008, the day I bought the car.


And now:

Kit the steelies on just the back and convince people its an all out drag car. Fatties up from and skinnies out back.

Today was relatively nice (it's nicer now than when I put them on this morning), I was able to get the new shoes installed, now with lugs that actually fit, that I can actually tighten.

Here are some pictures during/after the install, before I washed the car.

Width comparison shot:


Everything all on. Love that the tires actually poke out a little, rather than hide in the wheel well.


Pre-wash, but out of the garage:



Will post more pictures in a few.

Oh don't worry, I'll keep the steelies on when I park it, and also in late fall (or early winter, depending on when snow starts falling) and early spring, or if we go on a trip (like to Traverse City or Chicago or something).

[Fox Slaughter]

Man you are messing up. Just hand those ugly rims over to me and keep the sick steelies on. =D

[MP81]

Didn't put them on today, no time. Will probably do them Saturday, since that day is free, and then I can wash it too.

New lugs definitely have a lot more clearance, though.

Where da pics at?

“avoid driving, moving, or test-driving vehicles equipped with high-performance summer-only tires below 20º F as operating at these temperatures can cause damage to the tires

not going to be under 20 degree's out.

It was not meant to argue- It was only to show that is has been enough of a problem that they published a bulletin about it.

[MP81]

Correct! The hub-centric rings fit very well, so that's a plus.

My new lugs are out for delivery today.

Just a bump in the road! At least you didn't find out they wont fit at all!!
