Default Finally mounted my Work Wheels...**Pics**

First, I would like to thank Van again! He is the freakin' man!! Van, you know how to pick out an offset. :D

I'll post a few, the rest are in the album starting on #37. Hopefully Imagestation doesn't suck, and you all can see these. Otherwise, just click on the link, and look through the album.

http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4288747743













For those who are wondering, they are Work VS-xx. 18x8 in the front, 18x9 in the rear. Wrapped in Toyo T1-s, 225/35-18 front, 245/35-18 rear.


Now I need a body kit. :twisted:

Yes, a kit and a CF wing are defenitly on my list, as well as a CF hood (as soon as someone makes one).

As for the rubbing, I can't really say. I haven't driven on them yet. I wasn't for sure how they would fit. The fronts fit fine, and passed the clearance test. The rears end up hitting the shock as well as the lower control arm. So, to figure out what size of offset plate I need, I had to use some washers. In those pictures, I have about 7 - 8mm worth of washers, but it REALLY close. If you look on the lower arm, there is a little nub that is sticking out. It hits on that. So, I'm thinking that I will need about 11 or 12 mm plate in order to clear safely. As for spring travel, on large bumps on the freeway, they may rub, cause it's pretty close.

I'm hoping to get the spacer problem fixed within the next couple weeks, cause there is another show on the 28th. So, we'll see how it goes.


I was a little worried about how the gold would look against the blue, but it turned out beautiful. I'm very happy with the choice I made. :D

Yeah, i know. I forgot my tri-pod, so I was trying to just hold my camera. And I was working off of 4 hours of sleep and no food.


Thanks everyone. I'm gonna do just about whatever it takes to be able to drive on these. Of course, once I do, I won't be driving on them daily. But I'd like to be able to have them for cruises and stuff.

I was the only xA at the show, and there were 3 xB's. I want to have the top xA in the northwest, and I'm gonna work hard to make that happen. I've got some great plans for it, including a VERY simple DIY. So, once I get that done, I'll post the steps for all you other xA guys. I think you'll really like it.
