I just did some searching and it turns out that stretched tires are better for drifting... so nice job with your tires.

are you going to get a LSD or weld your differential?

Update:Got the 195/50's mounted.

Looked funky. Needs camber, and drop.

Got both my rucas on and dialed in today.Cool.

Let's put the wheels on.

Now let's see how it looks Slammed.Flush?

195/50's are great. I might've gone with a 55 over a 50 to have less of a raked stance, but oh well. Front doesn't rub at all.

All that negative camber completely fukked my toe. Rears are toed in A LOT. It felt dangerous driving at 30 mph. Not quite sure how i'm going to get to the shop to get an alignment.

Still looks cool though.

Lip clearance while jacked up:

Then something happened out of the blue.A guy on northwestnissans wants to trade his wheels.16x8 +10 mesh, freshly polished, with centercaps and brand new 185/50's.He wants my wheels for his cressida.Awesome.



What do you guys think? I'll probably get them and realize i pulled the rear so much, they'll be sunken.Then I'll slap on a 15mm spacer, and I'll be set.

That's my update.

Discuss.

dude holy **** your car looks awesome

as for the new wheels, i don't really like the mesh as much, but i like the deep lip of that wheel, so go for it, that would look tight. that guy with the cressida must be on crack though to trade your wheels for his

Really? Two tickets in your first year and your license can be revoked? That sucks. Figured you would just have to pay a fine, thats how it is here at least. Well good luck.

As for the wheels, i personally would keep the ones you have. I like the crazy offset. Gives it a neat look.

yes - thanks to jeff (ghsot518) for the lip. it has already been beat to **** by the ground haha.

im pissed about the suspension, but it was completely my fault.

anybody know some tricky ways to get it removed?

i was thinking of doing the trick where you challenge it then postpone the court date a couple times and hope the cop doesn't show.

shiiit. i don't know if i shoud trade or not. the thing about my wheels is the quality. the paint is ****ty and chipping off, so i would have to polish them if i were to keep them. that takes time.

they use mag lugs which is a design from the 70's that SUCKS.

they aren't flush in the front and i have to run hella neg camber in the rear.i actually kind of like that though

odd...I'm in chehalis and I got 3 tickets plus a parking ticket my first year of driving. Plus a reckless driving charge (thrown out) and they never took my license away...that was like two years ago so I doubt its changed much since then. Could you not get your first ticket deferred? What was the ticket for?
