ABOUT THE SPACERS...

I was thinking. Yes, I would LOVE to "flush" them (now that I know I can both tuck and flush) HOWEVER, the 22's are the problem! I'll probably try a set for the rear and see what happens, but I'm afraid that I might do some damage as I have up front with the spacers... ugh, I should have put the bags before I painted so I can mess it all up while I found my limits... I guess I've got to be careful. rims are out of the question right now (not sure if I stated that yet) Cant really afford a set of $3000-$4000 rim/tire package. I'm not a rich guy, I just was able to save up for what I did and made the mistake of making a hasty decision when I bought the rims instead of getting what I should have... actually, I had a nice staggered set on order and got inpatient so I asked to apply the balance on these they had in stock.. We'll see, I've got some money set aside for interior that I MIGHT use towards them, but again dont really want to stray off the budget I set...

jack the car up on all four corners, install the spacers, then one wheel. Let all the air out of the setup (while on jacks), then jack up one wheel to see if its going to hit or not. You can adjust camber accordingly to clear.

Good deal.. but if I got $1500 for my rims... I'd shoot myself! The tires alone cost that much! I've got run flats on there... I'll see what happens.

Those wheels are so tempting but I'll be flushed and can't tuck like how I am now.
