that one guy Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I have the same rims and was wondering what back spacing you were running? Also, did yours have a horrible dipped paint job? Love the car thus far, great starter car in general! Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 i was going to a gun metal/charcoal grey. Fawk haha might go that route eventually.. I have the same rims and was wondering what back spacing you were running? Also, did yours have a horrible dipped paint job? Love the car thus far, great starter car in general! I think I went with the 2in backspacing... but this is what you should look at: https://www.rsracing.com/tech-wheel.html#backspace and the original paint was painted over well (repainted OEM color) THEN painted terribly, then primed over multiple coats... terribly...again... and the body work in between the coats was... well... non-existant... so, while I dont want it PERFECT (because I still want the character from the years...) I do want it NICE... Quote Link to comment
that one guy Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I actually have the 2 inch back spacing B) It looks like you might have the 3 inch back spacing, as mine look like they stick futher out then yours? Also wondering if you had around an 1/8 of an inch of caliper clearance as I do? Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Not sure... Havent had a chance to put them on the front for more than a minute yet haha I just know they clear and im getting tires tomorrow... Quote Link to comment
