My New Rims---Opinions anyone

[nunyadamnbiz]

So here they are, not the ones i would buy in a store, but hey 200 bucks for a set of brand new never mounted rims said they were the ones to get....but wow do i need a drop now....how hard is it to install lowering springs....so let the opinions begin....i can take it

[nodrogkam]

they're alright i guess. you do need to drop it. haha here come camber tire wear issues. hehe

you need a spring compressor and new struts *might as well get new struts since youre ripping it apart).

[WhiteRabbit]

they look pretty good. how many inches are they? and how come your sidewalls look bald? almost like a bicycle tire...

itd def look better with a drop and slightly thicker tires. springs are not too hard to install, maybe a 6 on a 1-10 scale. with the proper tools and general know how of course.

[nunyadamnbiz]

they are 17x7's yeah those are old scortchers that i had layin around....so the tread on the outside is real smooth and the inside is aggressive...but they are a little worn down, not too bad though....

how could i avoid camber wear...kinda a stupid question but i was just wondering

[v-cam]

^camber kit

[DAMON]

you wont need a camber kit on a gen 3 unless you get coilovers or chop the springs

[nunyadamnbiz]

hell yeah i hear ya....as soon as i put them on it was like damnnnnn it needs to go down....so any opinions on how far to drop it....I was thinking like 1.5 maybe 2 but not sure....like you said 200 bucks brand new .....it corners like crazy now....I should have put 45 series tires on but i had these 40's layin around so i saved another 400+ dollars

[Eye8Pussies]

it's looking pretty good to me if it's dropped


and moved to show and share

sum one can might help u out on giving u the full instrutions to how to do it??this was my first time changing the spring..

[-SCWEET1-]

Cannot beat 200 bucks.

[darksparkz]

Why would there be camber wear by just switching out to bigger rims with less profile?

[dna59]

I like 'em and for $200, you can't beat that. It'll look sooo much better when it's lowered.

No you don't. All you have to remove is the side piece of the seat and get in there with a hand ratchet. Bluemeanie and myself have done prob. done about 25 sets of springs and struts. It's hard at 1st but you find little things you can do to shave the time off and not have to remove unessary parts

I can understand the back, but IMO they are the easiest to do, what problems did you have in the front

What size of tires are you running? 205/35/17? They look real thin.
