Yeah can't say I blame you, what wheels are you putting on there?

i have a set off 22in spec 1 wheels. They are 22x9 upfront and 22x10.5 on the rear so i have to do a frame notch and a mini tub before i even start on the big brake upgrades.

Definetly interested to see how that goes, I am also gonna have to get new wheels sold my old ones and am back onto factory wheels for now which won't work. I had been kicking around doing the niche element wheels but couldn't really put 3k into wheels when the old ones I had were a third that cost and looked almost the same. I think I am going to go with the US Mag Ramblers in 20 but powdercoat them 2 tone to get rid of the chrome lip, just wish there were better options for our cars.

i had the 20inch us mag hustlers but i sold those and went with the 22s but like you said with our rear frame there isn't much that's going to fit our ride without modifications.. i came to the realization that I'm going to have to do mods either way it go to fit the wheels i want to fit. i lie big wheels i cant help it lol

I hear ya, I like big wheels myself but think 20 is as big as I will go. Would love to get some more meat under there but with it laying frame it would take too much work.

TURNA, keep in mind that LEDs are polarity sensitive, but 194 sockets are not. If it doesn't light, flip the bulb over 180*.

My account should be crying today, went competition grey or charcoal calipers depending on who you talk to so now have to get the 20" Ramblers powdercoated to show some difference between them and to get rid of the chrome barrel.

A lightly used, low mile 3 series posi for my 8.5” 10 bolt. Under $200 shipped to me. It should accept my 3:73 gears quite nicely!

Picking it up tomorrow.
🙂

Got some of the new stuff in, still waiting for the wheels to get powdercoated and the calipers to come in. So for now gonna be happy with lug nuts and the caliper mounting brackets
