my driver side axle is busted, not sure how it happened. Looks just like that, bought a replacement and just waiting for the right time to fix it.

Teasers:
No need to state the obvious, but I need a drop. The rims raised my car up almost a full inch. Lowering back to my original ride height should get me where I want to be. I though I was going to need more camber in the back, but I am hoping that dropping it an inch will allow it to camber in where I want it naturally.
Man! These wheels are heavy. I actually have to give it some pedal to brake!
I'll probably post more pics tonight when I drop it. Full action shots will come once I have my photo-shoot Sunday.
Actually they are Venaci Mesh wheels(From VIP_Status).
225/35
265/30

well i dont really know what to call the fender work but if you have followed green goblin build, im doing the same thing he did to his front fenders with the pie cut and weld. i want the car to be a little wider without looking widebody and looking as close to stock as possible. im already at -6 camber in my rear but my front i need to adjust it to maybe -4 or -5, not sure yet until i get my rims back. tires i havent figure it out yet but im thinking maybe 245/35 and 275/30 will do the job, i hope.
i will be runing the 8/6 piston alliance bbk. i've seen people with +20 and up offset run these bbk with no problems, that is mainly why i chose this bbk and of course the lower pricing from the other big name brands. i havent test this yet because im still waiting on my rims to come back, then i will more info for you about the fitment with the bbk.

19x11 -10/20 ish or 19x12 0/-10 ish rear and the front 19x10 0/-15 mid disk or 19x10 +5/10 ish low disk or 19x11 +?????.....
need help please if anyone has any input..thanks! and i cant wait to see the 19x13's...its gonna be sick.

sounds good.. i know that i had the mid disk 18x10 0 offset up front and i needed a 25 mm spacer to clear the brembo which made me pull/pull/pull fenders...i think the lowest offset i can with the brembos up front with a mid-low disk is probably like a +15 (rpf1's) and with a high disk probably around low tens...but then i wont have a lip and that is unacceptable to me lol.

19x10 +4 R-disk
19x12 +0 O-disk
Also, my Varianza's
20x9.5 -3 R-disk
20x10.5 +0 O-disk
We were supposed to test fit hatchboi's rims on my car to see where the fitment would be with the bbk but our schedules never worked.
And another picture for fun..
Yo mike, who's doing your photoshoot? I'm free this sunday. We should get all the kitted/slammed/flushed Z's together and rep some for New Orleans. BTW your rims look sweet. Can't wait to see it in person.
