Hey where are those daytime photos you promised everyone:headscratch:

In the end all the effort in getting the combo together will be worth it. The stance and the wheels look stellar:thumbsup:

The wheels and drive plates are headed back tomorrow for a slight adjustment on the chamfer.

I feel like I ranted too much in the previous posts as a result of other stresses in my life and might have shed a bad light on Formula 43 due to my ignorance with the fitment. It's important that everyone knows Travis has been extremely patient throughout my wheel purchase and delivered an awesome wheel to my specs very quickly. The more I look at the wheels the more I love them. I'd highly recommend Formula 43 to anyone out there. I might be overthinking my comments but on the web things can be taken many ways. Reputation is also critical in the automotive aftermarket so I want to make sure everyone knows how pleased I am with both the product and service.

ahh your fine. sometmimes thoughts and written words can be misunderstood. Happens to me all the time. Might be due to my accent.

Anyways, There are a bunch of things you can do to get more tire room.

Question, how much room did you have to the brake calipers? You maybe able to shave a bit off the center since its gonna be on the mill anyways. 1/4" can make a huge difference.

Here are your pics since I know you can't see much on your crackberry. You know I have a connection who can hook you up with a real phone.....

When I'm able to pull the car out of the garage I'll get better picks. For now the car hauler is blocking the drive and I didn't want to take the time to move it.

I'm not too worried but wanted to be sure.

I'm going to start cutting out the outer edge of the inner fender first. I tried to reshape them but it still does not have a sharp enough bend at the fender. I'll cut them out and fiberglass the edge instead so I can get a sharper radius.

I don't want to cut the pads on the front because BS is already as far back as I am comfortable. I went with 10.5" rims rather than 10" so the turning radius is a little tighter. Worse case I will keep the car a little higher for a while until it comes time for a repaint. When I finally paint the car I'll go ahead and add a little more flare to the front.

I should sneak over there and take some pictures since you're just down the street and I'm working at home this week. ;)

Looking good!

Update on the wheels. Travis received them yesterday morning. I was shocked how quickly he adjusted the bore and added a much large chamfer to the end. I had UPS tracking information by ~3PM the same day. If all goes well with the shipping I should have them back on Friday. I have to say the service from Travis was awesome.

I can't wait to get them back up have a lot of stuff left to do. It's going to be a busy weekend.....
