Finally got pics....suspension complete

[BadQ45t]

Finally have the final ingredient, the 19" Rims with Bridgestone Potenza 050A in 245/35 19" YR (on special from tire rack fro $141 each thank you) added to the Tein springs and KYB SR specials.

So far I have not driven alot but the car is smoother than I though it would be with all that metal and 35 series tires...huge difference in getting around turns, not as dramatic as the springs and shocks but the M45 rims balance perfect. Also used 1 1/4 billet alluminum custom spacers, there bolt right to the hub (they are stronger than a hub) and than you mount the tires to these spacers (thanks Kevin for the lead on the spacers).

In any case, now the only thing left is in car nav but that will wait for awhile....but this is the look I have dreamed about! I was going to post some pics but didn't have a credit card handy to sign up for the iServe thing and didn't see any other way of uploading pics, will try to put some in my bio. Did I miss something or is this iServe the only way to post now? The insert pic thing doesn't seem to do anything anymore.

You can sign up on photobucket.com for free and upload pics. You say you have the spacers on...do they help with the fender gap any? I've been thinking about getting some to push my wheels out and get a more aggresive looking stance.

Just use Wes and Jesda's site - q45.org ! All my recent images are hosted there. It's free, and you don't even need to make an account! (Thanks Wes & Jesda!)

Pics soon or expect to be heckled .

And, the heckling begins.

[BadQ45t]

Okay, just hit up Jesda for a .org account so I can post up there. Yes, the wheel wells are gone, the spacers and wider tires/rims do the trick when lowering. With the 17" rims it was ugly even after lowering, now they are right to the edge. Pics by tomorrow!!

[Rex]

Running out of time, the heckling will being very soon .

[ceningolmo]

Good thing you reminded me....

[elwesso]

I can host them here on my iServe account too if you want...

You have until Tuesday at sundown, and heckling is fair game.....

[BadQ45t]

Thanks for the offer, the pics are in your inbox, i will either get setup by Jesda after all the holidays are finished or so iServe. Elwesso has em' so hopefully he can post them up quickly.

[BadQ45t]

Okay, everbody is asleep so playing around with Q45.org, i think I have them figured out.....

CLICK the pics to enlarge!



Hopefully this is the total view of the car.



This should be the front tire, nice fit, perfect!



Hopefully you see the rear here, no rubbing at all and there is plenty of clearance behind the front tire to the strut. I think I can go for 40 series next time instead of the 35's (check them out, there is like no sidewall.

beautiful work

[Falkdesigns]

Beautiful indeed! Super clean, looks amazing and I already know you love the ride with the Tein/KYB SR setup. Those wheels really flow with it IMO. Good work Jeff.

[Rex]

I'm now convinced these would look GREAT on my G50 ... I've got to keep my eye out for a set ... or the G35 forged 19's.

Downside of course is 19" tires cost more than 20"?!?

Looks nice, real nice.

[Q_SHIP]

The car is done very tastefully. Nice.

[hannibal]

The wheels look great on there. Very clean!

[TgduMg]

Oooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks delicious

Looks sick. Those wheels make the car look like a new model. You will get lots of compliments about the car

[BadQ45t]

Thanks, I am VERY pleased with it. I go into the garage to just to check it out during the football games!! It fit together so nicely, the M45 rims are nice.

One thing I learned, do your homework and you will get the right results.

[pdqwrx]

Glad you got them to work. I have missed them several times since selling them and seeing them now really sparks my interest again. They look darn good, like they belonged there all along. Congrats.....

Thanks, it took some doing, customer spacers and whatnot but I finally get the mounted. They are as clean as they looked in the boxes when I got them from you!!

[BadQ45t]

Thanks, took me long enough but the end results were worth it. For sure not a direct bolt on but it worked with the spacers fine. It handles nice!

[Jeff Williams]

Looks great.

I would love to see a rear shot, where we can see the relationship between the tire and the fender. Maybe a 1/4 shot.

[BadQ45t]

I will do it this weekend, it is suppose to be in the high 60's and clear out this weekend, more pics to follow showing the rear.

Stance and wheel fitment... the two major things that can make ANY car.You're right about the tire profile, you probably could step it up to a 40 series next time also... it'll give you a beefier tire look, as well as fill in more of the wheelwell, which will in effect visually lower the car also (while actually raising it a tad). Win, win!

EDIT: looking at the top qtr shot again, I think everything actually looks quite nice as it is... if you are fine with the ride of the 35series tires, you should stick with them!

Wow! Very nice job.
