Default And hur we go my awd staggered setup



(doing this from iphone and pics are iphone as well i will update with shots within next week or so of good quality photos)

Roderick rw4
Front 19x8.5+35 235/35/19
Rear 19x9.5+20 245/35/19

I was first going with a set of bcr but the sale didnt fall through so i picked up a set of megan lp's. And I love them they ride great

Figured i would have to roll my fenders so went ahead and purchased a fender rolleras well.

Here we go:

Simple iphone shots wait till my suspension settles then make adjustments.

Once the weather clears the shoot will begin

From the pictures it looks like you cracked the paint at the outer edge of the fender. Did you use a heat gun to soften the paint first?

I did use a heat, i thought that i had cracked the paint as well but the before pic shows the same line. I think its from a tape line? The car was hit in the rear before i bought it and had been blended in.

I just assumed it was from tape b/c its on both sides.

Even though i used heat the rubber liner still peeled off so i will prob end up having my paint guy reshoot them so there protected against rust.

Great start. The front wheels could be spaced out a little.

wow that is a very nice drop. I love it when the fenders follow the very top of the tire, instead of covering the tires.
