what wheels did you get?

 

Teaser pic...



We'll def. see more soon, I'm sure.
Can't wait, buddy.

- Leo.

 

Not sure if it's ok to post 'em on his behalf, but this is how his car looks now... He says he still wants to drop a bit, and get rid of a lot of rubbing in the rear.







Hope that's cool, John.

Later,
- Leo.

 

Pretty sweet! I actually like the location of where you shot the pictures too. Seems to fit your style very well.

 

Thanks for posting the pics Leo. I'll stop by your house tomorrow or something so you can see it in person.

haha thanks. Thats just an elementary school parking lot literally 100 yards from my house. It was a saturday and the lot was empty so I just pulled the car in.

 

Yeah, for sure, man. Tomorrow is my mama's birthday, so might go out to dinner, but feel free to stop during the day/later in the week. Just call me up.

And about the location, Jen (girlfriend) saw the pics and went... "ooohhh I know that!" She's from Miami, too.

 

looks good.. 15s or 16s!?

 

That looks really really nice!

We call UPS "Brown Santa". Currently our regular driver is...well.....brown! So if he ever overhears us we might have some 'splainin' to do.

 

Yea man the weather kept the MINI at home today. The damn ceiling is leaking so its gotta stay outta the rain for now. Thats gonna be my project for this weekend lol. I'll probably be able to bring it by on Thursday. I'll call you though.

15s all day!

 

Bring it over on the weekend and we can tackle that and my spacers/proper drop together. I should be getting my shipment by then...

Hope all is well, and stay inside, man. Flood warnings all over town.
- Leo.

 

Damn dude, that drop and those rims are hella sick!

:TU:

Planning to get my Vmaxx within this month =]! i got 18x7.5 on 205/40/18. so hopefully i wont be rubbing the insides

 

Whats the offset on your wheels?

 

^ I was gonna ask the same thing. lol.

Oh, by the way - John, do you know if the Mk1 dude still needs the spacers? I have my front ones (need to install) but I'm waiting on the rears. If he still needs/wants 'em, they're his on Monday/Tuesday...

 

I'll ask him. The last time I talked to him he didnt need em cause he hadnt lowered the car yet. It was just sitting on the coils all the way up.

Im kinda trapped in my house this weekend cause of the Super Bowl so I'll bring my car over to visit next week sometime. It sucks living within walking distance of the stadium lol.

 

they're 45+

 

Im thinking you're gonna need spacers.

My OEM wheels were 6.5in wide +48 and they rubbed. A 7.5in wide wheel +45 has 10mm LESS clearance between the wheel and the strut.

 

I'm running 17x7.5" with 5mm spacers and the fronts have paper-thin clearance between wheels and struts. I'm on 205/40's.
With 5mm spacers, you can drop it comfortably.





Pretty flush...


CAMBER!!! Getting that fixed tomorrow...


cheating...


Later,
Leo.

 

dang, hahah okay, sounds good, Thanks man. Right now i'm running on Eibach Springs with oem strut, and i have like a finger gap between my innerwheel to my strut LOL

 

That looks hella good, hahah kwazee camber tho =P

 

Car is looking great Leo. Photoshoot due sometime soon.

John, sorry I wasn't able to make it up to Leo's place when you guys did the coils. Good to see everything went well. What part of Miami do you normally reside by, I know Miami is huge but I've never seen your car around..

 

Its all good man, we managed to get it finished lol

Im in North Miami right by Dolphin Stadium. All 3 of us need to get together for photos sometime soon.

 

lol. Yeah... Just came back from getting an alignment... Turned out it was -5 degrees in the rears!

John, I know you like camber, but even you have to admit, that was too much...
On the good news, after the camber was fixed, the wheels are now pushed more towards the fenders. It really looks flush now.





John, I'm holding you onto that photoshoot.
- Leo.

 

17x7.5" ASA LW5's in white. Discontinued...
