17x10 wheels. . .

Forgot to mention, we first tried shimming the front attachment of the UCA and it still wasn't enough to bring out the tire so it wouldn't hit the front valence



Here is where they go, the bolts were a little hard to reach but Bryant always knows a way to get to a bolt


We put estimated what the toe in/out should be and I'll take it to an alignment shop next week to have them properly adjust it

 

That doesnt look to bad. It might be something I might try in the near future. Cant wait to see a good profile shot to see how it blends in with the rest of the car.

 

That's the first time I've ever seen anyone modify the valance like that. Everybody else just "lives with it".

Looks pretty good!

 

I know it doesn't look really neat and clean but right now I'm a lot more preoccupied with going fast and less with looking pretty. I need to look decent enough to not get kicked out of my work's parking lot

 

where did you get those shims? self made? or widely available universal equipment?

 

yea you can buy those anywhere, we got them from Napa because Kragen didn't have them

 

I cringe when I see someone cut factory sheet metal...but it looks pretty good.
Pretty much a necessity when you want to run bigger tires on the front.

 

You should not hang around my garage then. Man do I love cutoff wheels

 

No kidding. I buy the things by the box.

 

I know this seems to be an old thread. The last post was in 2011? I cannot view the pics? It showns an icon of a pic with an "x" over it. I sure would like to see these pics of these wheels?
