Finally got the rims on. What do you think?

I know it sits high on the stock springs, but we may leave it that way having seen how well the rim/tire combo filled out the wells (looks better in person). I like the clearance the car has - less worries about snow, curbs & inclined business entrances taking out the front skirt.

Van's rear hub shim kit is on its way.

One thing though--now that this rim/tire combo is on the car, I think the alignment is off...that and I have to have them rebalanced (wheelmax). O well. Going in to the dealer Wednesday to be checked for alignment, and I'll wait until I take them off for the winter to have them rebalanced...it barely shakes, so a couple months won't hurt.

 

Looking good. A little to many spokes for my taste, but looks good. Now just get a slight drop on there & it will be great.

 

Looks good! are those 16" wheels? Also, what kind of tires are those?

 

Thanks!

Nope, not 16's...17 x 7.5 Sportmax 923's w/215/45/17 Kumho Ecsta 711's.

A bit heavier than stock, and about 1/2" larger overall diameter because I went with the 215/45 instead of 215/40, but I wanted that extra size & am very happy with it.

It was consistently getting 36mpg with 50/50 highway/city driving, so we can stand to sacrifice a mpg or 2.

I should have waited to take the pic until I used the tire shine...I'll update it later.

 

nice!

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks for the compliments...this picture is a better one - closer to what it looks like in person...

 

Nice!

 

yeah it would look nice with a 1-1.5 in drop all around

 

looks good, do a minor drop od 1.25" and it will look 10x better

 

We may do the pro-kit in the spring...trying to buy a house right now.

 

Nice!
