My installer is not happy with me. He sent me this:




Apparently mounting a 305/25/20 tire isn't the easiest thing in the world to do.

I posted this pic in my other thread, might as well put it here too. Crappy cell phone pic, but once the weather breaks here, I have a proper shoot scheduled.

Thanks. No, actually the car is lowered via SDS only. I'm thinking of picking up a set of links too, though. I like the height it's at with SDS, but for photo shoots and meets and such, it'd be nice to drop her down a bit more.

How big is the gap you have right now? I have about 2 1/2 finger gap all around but I couldn't get the SDS to accept any lower setting.

I have the links in my trunk that I'm thinking about putting on tho.
