Shawn shawn and patrick.
Yeah i pretty much already have big bear arms so its all good (lolz.) But yeah it does make it a bit worse, but with either 195/60/14 or 185/60/14s it won't be too bad.

My DD is a Honda Element and they have shitty gas mileage. Stupid K24s....

Yeah man i've bought a lot of cheap cars but this one takes the cake on the "good deal" scale lol. With the last crx i bought being a close second. ANd lol, we could trade motors if ya like

Not that it would fit in my engine bay, but....

Decided to go back to 13's for daily driving. But steelies suck. So i got some 13x5.5's (off what i believe to be a 320i), +18 offset. They look kind of positive camber style on the front but it's mostly from the angle of the driveway. It's probably at 0 or +1 but not as bad as it looks. This kind of works out nice since i think with lowering springs it will be back to normal while maintaining as much flushness as possible with 13's haha.

Got some brandy new 175/70/13s for them yesterday (thanks Gran Turismo East!!!) and had the wheels on by 7pm. FOERST set of new tires i've ever bought lol. Sad i've had so many cars and it's the FOERST time i haven't bought used. Ballin'!

Also put new pads and rotors on today. Finally. Brakes feel great now that they work. Before they had to be pumped on some stops lol.

Bling!

Mmmmm. They have a lip!! Cleaning with simple green next week, should clean up very nice.
