Now its 5 lug equipped, and has adjustable suspension stuff. Hopefully this weekend I will get to clean it up. I need spacers in the back and to roll the front fenders. The front tires are shiny on the edges from rubbing.

What size tires should I run? My front wheels are 17x8 with 215s and rears are 17x9 225s (i think). Not sure of the sidewall height.

Front 205-40-17, 215-40-17 in the rear?


Matt raised the car up 1.5 inches, the coilovers were bottomed out. Before he aligned it the rear looked low enough, but afterwards it looks a bit high. It took 30 minutes of pounding per side on the collars to adjust them.

You could push this across the finish line...
Or... Tow it.
