look out fo rrubbing like this..

Well I put my rims on and couldnt figure out what the rubbing was each time I turned a little in either direction... It was worse when up to a little speed (more G's)...

Well I thought I had too long of bolts.. Well after trimming the bolts three times the rubbing persists..

I took the rim off an looked around abit and found that the strut itself was being rubbed from the inner lip of my rim.. Holy hell now I need 5mm spacers in front and rear! So before the rubbing cut my shock in half a little at a time, I put some donuts on, one from me and one from my buddy goldenbuddha..

Yup, it look sweet as hell donuts on bith sides rollin deep on fourth of July.. I just keep reminding myself that its ok, Im the ones with the 19's!!!!!

ANyhow. 8.5inches wide, 19" tall and a 37mm offset will rub so beware!

I'lltake some pics with donuts , with the 19's and 5mm spacers so you can really see the halfbred civic rice racer lookin dayton rollin hooptie!!

laters!!!
