I'm running 450 lb.in front 350 rear... and they're 17s and i didn't want to lower the car any more... since i live in an area of bumps galore and curbs made for escalades, lowering would be a BAD choice beyond what i have now :P
Do you rub at all? and do you have any close up pics of the tires on the wheel? Just curious to know if 225/40/18 fits on 18x8 w/ a drop.
Thanks.
I rubbed alot at first but my arches are pretty much trimmed down at this point along with two sets of rear arch lights. You'll be fine with those sizes but depending on your wheel offset you may need spacers to prevent the wheel rubbing against the front strut and rear trailing arm.
I am anxiously waiting for my tein springs to come in the mail! I love the way your painted fenders look... how hard was that to get done or how much did it cost you?
....i just realized that you probably have the 2nd gen mini and the fenders come painted...
I still wonder how much hassle or cost that would be for me to do it to me r53

Hey Rally, did you redo the wood grain since H2O? It looked a lot lighter when I saw it in person, or is it just the lighting? Also, did you end up installing those balljoint extenders? The front looks like it's lower. It's looking focking amazing.

Thanks for the compliments. I managed to get the front a little lower, but I haven't managed to find a source for balljoint extenders. My subframe is 1-2mm off the ground. The balljoint extenders should be just enough to get the car on the ground. I just hope I can find a company that will offer the right parts.
I haven't changed the wood, it just shifts colors like crazy in the sun because I gave it a super bright gold undercoat and then topcoated with a partially transparent brown. In bright sunlight it gets really light, and then in low light it almost matches the bodycolor in darkness.

Haha I think I may be too low for JCW skirts. They'd get crushed. My front jack point is on the ground
