The stancenayshun -14.5 lies
It’s a AAA card so that’s fitting.
No turning back of these quarter panels, they are being widened by about 1.75-2" using the advanced Eyeball and Hammer Technique (TM).
Also, I lied about the the tire it’s actually going to sit 12mm inboard of that, top photo is two spacers for an offset of -14.45mm bottom photo is one spacer for an offset of -1.75mm. I’m bending the wheel well out to fix some rubbing issues/unacceptable poke, it will also make room for a fatter tire soon.
The -2 offset that I’ll run
Since Ive began sanding the last good bit of paint on the car, this marks the beginning of a never-ending struggle to clean up all of the cars dings before paint.(Going to be various shades of Rustoleum Smoke Grey for the next 2 years)

I don’t know where you live, but I hope that it’s not Pennsylvania. Our terrible roads would murder that car.

You’ll be happy to know it’s a framing hammer.

It’s ca, part of the work is rust prevention from a half assed fender roll a couple years ago. The cars already pretty well murdered from a driveway thats grated once every 5 years and Ca’ s stellar rural road network.(also that’s not the ride height, it’s with the coilovers removed)

Fair enough. I don’t hate lowered cars, it’s just that the roads here are so terrible that I’d rather put a 4" lift on my car than even think about dropping it. Every winter we get potholes so bad that cracked rims are pretty common.
