it's very easy, just stick it between the wheel and the rotor hat. however, if it's anything more than 5mm, i think you should longer stud just to be safe. and that you need some time to change them out

Do the stock rear wheels actually sit in farther than the front wheels or does it just look like that because the way the body is designed? It seems like if the rears are spaced outward from the fronts the car's handling would be affected.

A deal was made with another member for his... fortunately for me I offered enough $$$ for him to part with these beauties... can you believe they are used?





I am stoked...

and yes Shawn, I am done with mods for now... I am happy with the L-Tuned look I am now sporting...

although, if a nice Cinnabar L-Sportsline or other bumper became available...
Oh and maybe some nice red BBK in the distant future (wife has tightened the screws a little after the badges purchase)

I will look into the possibility of that 19th show... The wife loves old town so might be a good possibility of attending... would everyone from Tampa be caravaning? I am guessing the 19th would be a Sat. night right? Would we be parking in the show area?

I have received confirmation from the wife to attend with conditions...

1. I have to call Disney and get reservations. She wants to do Disney Sunday and Monday if we go.

So I guess count me in... put me on the list... we love Old Town anyway and the wife was looking for an excuse to put my daughter in a poodle skirt.

Yeah, we can't all have cars that look like yours!



Hope you make it to Orlando... would love to see your car in person.

The wheels are nice, the wife is happy with the ride and the cost, I like the sporty look and staying true to the L-Tuned package... had there been brand new sets of Salina's lying around I may have picked them up instead but at almost double the price I may have stuck with the 17's anyway.

I always wanted OZ wheels too!
