P.s. those rimz are dope, let me know when you need a back up hoodlum for your rap video. You know, the ones not doin' nothin outside the G5, straight stuntin' (these comments are only partially sarcastic and fo real your whip looks straight fire, son).

Church.

Weight was 23lb I think. The whole package ended up at 48lb.

135's that I pulled off we're 47lb for the front and 54lb for the rear.

235/40 bruh

Little taller sidewall with a bit of a stretch gives me that smooth ride and sidewall stability when cornering

About 500 miles on the Coopers and they're excellent. I used to have to fight the car on the highway with how bad it tramlined and I thought for sure that it was bad bushings and/or shocks. Apparently it was just the worn PSS's that were on the front.

The car just chews through miles now and averaged a solid 32mpg at 78mph. Excited to see what it will do with non-leaking injectors.

This post was really just an excuse to share an oversaturated pic from the drive back:

do you have any plans for a set of maybe 10mm spacers for the rears to push them out just a wee bit? if not they still look nice but from the pictures and angles, it looks like the rears could be pushed out just a tad and still not have rubbing with your current ride height. it's all personal taste though so i'm sure the way you have it right now is because its exactly how you wanted it to be.

Haha good spot! The tucked in rear track is definitely not how I wanted it to be. I didn't bother with spacers before the trip because I got the wheels on an hour before we left and didn't have time to test how it drove with spacers only in the rear. The smallest set that I have is 10mm and I know that there can sometimes be issues with vibrations and such when there is that big of a difference between front/rear.

I need to get it on the lift to check for oil leaks anyway, so it sounds like tonight would be a good time to throw the spacers on too.

i think you will be fine with 10 out back and stock up front. i know several people that have 15mm out back and nothing up front and when i rode in their cars there was no vibrations i could feel.

I have 15 in the back and nothing up front right now and it's fine. Only vibrations I have are from out of balance fronts (which is why I took the 12.5s off up there). I miss the look but I'm not paying to road force balance until I decide if I'm keeping the 135s or not.

Looks like 10mm was on the money. Good looking out!

So you're basically 9" ET32 at this point?
