**NHFocus** · 07-21-2009, 09:39 PM

Those offsets are pretty friendly, but is that 245/40 I read??

**theindustrialist** · 07-21-2009, 11:10 PM

Only 1 pic of the car today, probably more tomorrow after I wash it.
Centercaps will go on when I get shorter lug nuts.
I made a u-turn today w/no rubbing. Magic camber

.
o2 sensors have been relocated on stock cat, pics later this week maybe.

Car rides / handles exactly as I wanted it to.
Two coils gone from the rear. Snip Snip.

specs are 16x7 et34 205/40 ___ 16x8 et38 215/40
rears are stretched a tad. fronts are square but they fit in the fenders perfectly.

I wanted Japanese wheels since day 1. Even before the Zenders.
They've got some chips / corrosion / etc, but for 15 year old wheels they're not bad. They're no where near mint but that
wasn't the point for me. The faces & lips should clean up nicely. You cant tell from the pics but the lip on the 8's is actually pretty substantial.

Onto the pics.

Car looks awesome. Great looking wheels and stance.

I assume you had your hubs redrilled to 4x114.3? Where'd you have it done?

Forgot to mention : wheels redrilled to our beloved 4x108.

**sjor** · 07-21-2009, 11:49 PM

Whoa! I wasn't expecting that because there's only one set of holes...

Now you get more questions! Was this a fill-n-drill? Did you have the lug holes "slotted" to 4x108? Who did the work? Looks like who ever did it is very good at what they do.

EDIT: noticed you're in ATL. Use to live there while I went to GT. Nice to see someone there is really rolling in style.

**theindustrialist** · 07-21-2009, 11:53 PM

no fill & drill. i think the holes were slotted and then inserts pressed in. got them from rbwheels.

haha thanks. i'm not looking forward to driving around atl though!

**98LowRanger** · 07-21-2009, 11:54 PM

VERY NICE man! Car looks slammed!!! Can't wait to see more pics.

**faster_than_u** · 07-22-2009, 12:27 AM

NEED MORE PICS!!!!! Yalls cars are sooooo hot. Over the past year it's amazing to watch how the Euro scene of a great low stance/stretch/poke have blown up in the focus community. I even had to join the bandwagon

**Spatakula** · 07-22-2009, 08:46 PM

Oh but there is still more than a fair share of haters. Heh.
