Okay, since I was a third way into the wear bar on two of my tires and half a mm away from the bars on the other two, I decided to get new tires. I wanted the General Exclaim UHP, and then just repair and powder coat my "Ikari's". But for the same price or less, I found a set of Giovanni G817H with Lexani LX9100's. So since I also wanted a more flush look, as well as something less sporty looking, I picked them up. On to the pics (yeah, I know my car is really dirty, it rained outta no where).

Old rims and dead Falken's weigh in at 38.4 lbs each.




G-Line's with the 100% Lexani tires weigh in at 40.6 lbs each :(

























Don't mind my legs and feet :p


Well, this is what happens when you're flush and don't have stretched tires:







Started smelling burning rubber within a mile of driving (total of 4 people in the car), and just drove for about 5 miles total (couldn't turn back right away). I had someone pull up next to me and tell me to roll down my window to say that one of my tires was smoking :(

I'll be taking out the rear hub spacers, and install them only for shows. I'll also be putting some rubber spring spacers in the rear.

Very nice Kao! as usually

These picture are my favorites:

The rubber spring spacers works for me very good, let me know how it goes taking the spacer out, with my primitive tools I just can't take them out.

Looking good...

I like the new rims too Kaotic! We somehow gotta connect for a sedan photo shoot. Maybe take part of a day and head up the road past the Foresthill bridge. There is a lake back there (past the town of Foresthill) and the road goes for quite a ways into the mountains. It would be a fun drive!

I'm really loving the rims Kaotic! what if you try the spring cushions again? might relieve some rubbing.

[AdeJong 03]

hey laz- consider cutting your rear fenders. i did and it gave me like 20 mm more clearance. pretty awesome

[jpadua]

Hey AdeJong, im interested in how you did your fenders.. 20mm is plenty! I'm changing my rims soon as well, I might run into rubbing problems coz my new rims would be 8" wide.

Hope you can post some pix of your fender.

So you would recommend cutting over rolling fenders?

[jpadua]

Laz at least your's is just rubbing, I had slicing! so I had to remove my spacers for now...

I'll be in Roseville this coming Thursday (22nd) for a few hours (don't want to drive back to Sac and then go back to Roseville after those few hours). I don't think my car will be clean since I'll be cleaning it on Friday for the NorCal meet. We can still do a photoshoot tho.

However, since I'm there for dropping my gf off for a test, she said be ready to pick her up when she calls. hahaha. I'll let you decide on this.

Thanks. Taking out and putting in the hub spacers is pretty easy, especially if you are using the DIY guide here. But it's good to know that the rubber spring spacers works well.

What did you use to cut the metal? And what about rusting on the exposed areas now? It's either cutting or rolling the fenders. hahaha.

hahaha, mine is slicing and dicing as well as rubbing. hahahaha. I'm going to cut the fender liner at the front, and see what I can do about the rear.

That may not work for me since I'm at work until 4pm. Do you have any weekends that you'll be up in this area?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Ummm, I'll PM you when I'm back in Sac. After the NorCal meet, I'll be back at my mom's place in the Bay Area. However, once Sac State starts again, I'll be up there longer. hahaha.
