I had to get a screw removed from a tire and have the hole plugged up. My mechanic told me to come down as soon I called him. He got me right in no problem.

Wow! Looks great! Love the wheels/tire's . Thinking about running the same size on my 04 MCS. Did you modify the inside of the wheel arches in anyway to run the 215/45/17 tire size? I'm on eibach springs and wondering if it'll rub too much.
With the right camber, it doesn't rub at all. I run that size on AST coilovers dropped about 2 inches in the front and an inch and three quarters in the rear.
Still dont like those diffuser tunnels even in CF. just looks like a cheap Hondaish Autozone add on to me. The more I see them the more I cant stand the look.
heres mine with 205/45/17's. its not really low, but think 215's would fit here without rubbing? this is just stock camber. dont have good pics on this PC, ill add better ones when i get a chance. Here's the one crappy mobile phone pic i have :
reason i want 215's is i like meaty looking tires
oh, and back on topic and i installed some menacing under-hood eyes recently which i found on ebay. got some cans of plastidip and blacking out the beltline later today .
I used to average a ticket a year, one year I got three tickets and I got a letter from the state telling me that if I got one more that year, I'd have to go to traffic school!

Now I go for years between tickets.

Not to hijack, try 11 between June & Sept - it was years ago w/a 426 Roadrunner. Saw the same judge in two separate counties' traffic courts who said "Son I consider your actions similar to peeing on my furniture" - Needless to say I financed my insurance agents kids college funds.

I just did the same today. I knew I'd be needing tires soon, but the mechanic discovered they're a little worse than expected and that I also need new ball joints and a tie rod end. Oh joy.

I did no mods to the inside fender wells and the car is somewhat low . The wheels are 17/8 . There was some minor rubbing with full tanks of fuel or hard driving but it was just rubber on plastic for the most part and rubbed itself clear.
Finished up installing JCW springs and Ireland Engineering fixed camber plates on my 06 JCW R52. Waiting on Megan Racing Roll Center Adjusters to arrive then I will be off for an alignment.
^^^ I'll try. I would love to see the multicolored fogs - not sure what that is...
Motored to work in the Kid today. He's been cooped up with his leaky water pump, but with the sun shining today and the alleged blizzard coming, I had to do it. All I can say is aaaahhhhhhhhh. I don't know how the rest of the world commutes in cookie cutter marshmallow cars.
