on sportlines?! do they rub at all? not even when you turn the wheel all the way?

NICE lookin rims dude :) 2g's and 18's go HAND IN HAND, i've always thought so :) good choice man those look schexy up in hurr

You need to paint your spoiler and handles/mirror imo

nice rims man, they look like 17s tho, anyways good choice

i can turn the wheel side to side and not rub a bit. 235/45/18. i got some side skirts that i need to put on and i am gonna get my front and rear bumper repainted as well because of chips and other damage. the spoiler and handles/mirrors go with that as well.

very very nice! much improved. :thumbsup

does anyone else have this problem. my rear tire is roughly less than a finger width away from the wishbone lookin thing. is there any way to fix that? when i hit certain dips in the road or drive over certain curbs, i rub and can hear it. i just dont want to screw something up. thanks!

bump! ;)

Lookin tight Dice. Wish I could be of help with the rubbing. Oh wait, I can be! Just ship those fatties on down here to Phoenix for me to "look at" for "a little bit." }(

Take care bro.

Fat tires all the way :D I always thought 235s would be too big... I have 225s and on really big bumps on the stock suspension they will rub for the briefest of moments.

It's all good bro. They ride nice and firm. Like virgin titties imo. BAHAHAHAHA I shoulda got the 225/45s but I opted to save some green and went with the 205/40s. The only slop in my handling now comes from the 157k+ on the stock shocks, brakes, bushings, and um, oh yeah, brake fluid. :P

EDIT:
Seriously, when those wheels getting here? ;)

yep, i feel that. i am getting ready to spend some dough on new rotors and pads. also converting rear to discs. i will mucho braking powa when i am done. :-) but i will be about 1000 poorer... :-(

damn those are pimp, loved em when you showed em to me the first time and i love em even more on ur car!!!!!

my car will sound like, bumbabumbubavrooooooooooooooomrooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhh, kishhhhhh

i got more questions, even though no one has answered mine yet. i got something strange on my fronts. the driver side has like a finger and a half on the gap between the top of the tire and the fender. the passenger side is almost tucked into the fender. does anyone have any ideas? blown shocks possibly? i am using stockers(yea yea yea, i dont want to hear any crap about it neither) ideas?!

total--you gots a pm.

congrats, you finally blew your stock shock :thumbsup

Shocks/struts really do not affect the ride height really. All in the springs. If 2GNTs used shocks instead of struts, you could drive it around without shocks and bounce all around the ride height would be the same :P

Your front springs may not be matched that well, or perhaps now that you have larger diameter wheel/tire combo the difference is more noticeable. 2GNTs do have more weight on one corner because of the way the distribution is. I have not heard of a gap difference as great as yours however.

EDIT: Trouble could also possibly be from worn bushings.

dont say worn bushings.....:-( i will take some pics sometime. i got too much goin on this week.
