Nice. Looks like you're dropped too. Any camber kits used? and what size tires? those chrome trims painted or wrapped?

I am. It's extra low in the picture due to the convenience mode when you lock it and it lowers more. No camber kit and no problem. I was super worried about it eating my tires at this height but so far so good and its been about a year and a half.

Tires are 285/35/22 and no rubbing even at the height pictured. Chrome trims are wrapped but the exhaust tips are powder coated satin.

I like the chrome trims delete. Did you wrap the trims yourself or had someone else do it? I'm thinking of tackling this myself. Can you post some upclose pics of the trims?

I paid to have it done. Some parts would be easy such as the window trim but the rest would be a huge pain.

I do not have close up pics. It looks like its painted. no lines no signs of chrome.

I think I was talking to you on one of the FB groups about the rim sizes mainly offset, 35 all round yeah? Just had to put a 10mm spacer on the front for the brake clearance?
With the 285/35, did you notice any issues with the speedo being out? I know stock we have 295/35R21... I was thinking to go a 285 or 295/30R22 to keep it close to stock

I haven't compared it to a gps speed reading and honestly I don't care if the speedo is slightly out.

@gansel1 Looks awesome!! What system and brand are you using for lowering links, or whole system? Are you using spacers also? and any issues with suspension or difference in feel? I am looking to do very similar on stock 21's.

These are the links i bought. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/122651325958

i am running spacers on the front with these wheels but i wasn't running spacers on the stock 21s. You could easily do a 10-15mm spacer all around with the stock 21s.

Suspension is stiffer for sure. I mostly drive around in comfort mode unless on the highway.
