wow...all the way up to 22"...I thought it only handles up to 20"...I didn't think you need to roll either...hey maci - by the way, did you get the h&r springs in? I would be interested in knowing how they feel and how much in terms of labor hrs if you had a shop do it for you...my indy says it will take them 5-6 hours... thanks.

SOVIET IF U USE 22'S WITH 30 TIRES DEPENDING ON THE OFFSET THE SETUP MIGHT WORK AND THE CAR WILL LOOK LIKE A TRACTOR. BUT IN MY CASE 19'S WITH 35 IN REAR +37OFFSET +5MM SPACERS .check my prevous pics which u did in my white wald build forum -u will see again that the rear tire .5-1inch below fender(actually i can barely fit one finger in the gap) ,as i drove from the shop after tires installation i could hear the tire rub,but after i rolled the fender i didnt.for some reason when they installed the rims+tires+5mm spacers the gap between the fenders and tire decreased significantly , as for springs the shop couldnt do it yet -they are looking for a special spring compressor,but they will charge me only $375 for springs and shocks(labor) not to bad ah!!! PS I AM VERY POSITIVELY SURE THAT WHEN I HAVE THE SPRINGS INSTALLED MY VEHICLE STANCE WILL LOOK JUST LIKE THIS PIC.
