So stoked! Everything is near perfect!

I am using coilovers I made out of a 240sx coilover+ebay parts+eibach springs. This setup is 1/2 way up! It works awesome I must say http://images.bimmerforums.com/smilies/smile.gif I believe the setup is 600 lb springs. NO rubbing even under spinning tire launch!

BTW, I have been meaning to getting my lowers colormatched forever, but I keep buying more exterior parts to be painted...http://images.bimmerforums.com/smilies/biggrin.gif Carbon fiber gurney flap coming soon! As well as a photoshoot using a real camera http://images.bimmerforums.com/smilies/biggrin.gif

I went and picked up the tires from some shack-ass looking place. These guys were DICKS. The dude selling me the tires had no idea what I was trying to do and barely knew english. http://images.bimmerforums.com/smilies/nono.gif

Anyways,

My cousin and I were having a hell of a time getting the 225/45/17 on the 10.5. We were using a ratchet strap and starter fluid http://images.bimmerforums.com/smilies/wink.gif Too much stretch, and not enough bead shelf for it to work though http://images.bimmerforums.com/smilies/frown.gif

I ended up taking it to a place near my house I had never been before. The guys were super cool about it and there were actually 4 people working at getting them mounted http://images.bimmerforums.com/smilies/tongue.gif

Starter fluid was a no-go. Then the cheetah was a no-go as well. Then an old guy came over from next door where they mount tractor tires. He used Murphy's oil soap around the open bead while giving it air through the valveless stem. The cheetah worked that time http://images.bimmerforums.com/smilies/biggrin.gif

We tried http://images.bimmerforums.com/smilies/smile.gif

I figured stance wasn't your thing!

Honestly, it handles WAY better than before. The spring rates make it feel like I have some super think sway bars when I rail a corner.

Nope that was it. On the way home I thought I hit another possum but it was an armadillo. It popped its head on the subframe and it pretty much exploded :lmfao:


Oh, and luckily my oil pan is tucked up above the subframe.

As long as it's a nice stance I can dig it :yes: I just didn't care for how much poke you had before you got smaller tires and flared the fenders. It's looking good though, looking forward to seeing more once you get everything painted and whatnot.
