[Phobic]

love this car.

[Danguiano425]

damn dude, after looking at your ride I HAVE to smoke my tail lights and reflectors.

xB looks good bro!!!

[triflin]

Are you running 0 offset wheels all the way around? If so, any rubbing issues? I'm thinking about going with this set up.

Everything looks great!

[Cod3thr33]

Ride is looking good man. Can't wait to see it done.

[2011xb4me]

looks awesome man! keep up the good work.

[pelly3s]

Are you running 0 offset wheels all the way around? If so, any rubbing issues? I'm thinking about going with this set up.

Everything looks great!

cory im running 16x8 0 offset all around, i dont rub because the tires are so tiny. I know some guys have run the stock tires and it rubs on df210's or hotchiks springs. Im gonna be going to a 175 stretched onto the wheel to try and clear the fender since im going on bags.

[triflin]

What size tires you got now?

[Phobic]

Hes running stock steelies on it now for the winter.

those XXRs have barely any rubber on them.

[pelly3s]

What size tires you got now?

the xxr's have 205/40/16's on them its about the ugliest tire size on the planet lol

i need to order new tires before they go on. i cant remember who it was that was running a 195/50 and it was good unless there was a lot of weight in the car.

im hoping to get working with someone on some camber plates so i can shove them under the car, i could just go with a higher offset wheel but thats just being lazy i like saying im on a 0 offset

[triflin]

Yeah, that's what I wanna go with if I ever sell my 18's. I want the XXR's 0 offset with 195/50 tires, just trying to make sure it's not going to rub.

Thanks!

[pelly3s]

Yeah, that's what I wanna go with if I ever sell my 18's. I want the XXR's 0 offset with 195/50 tires, just trying to make sure it's not going to rub.

Thanks!

what 18s do you have and whats the specs on them?

[triflin]

TSW Jarama's black with chrome lip

I'm sure you will love the spg555, I just picked up a boston g5 (g510-44) and it is amazing. It is more of a sq oriented sub and sounds amazing.

[pelly3s]

thats the thing with the SPG its a perfect combination of SPL and SQ all in one ugly pile of speaker

[Toast_Burner]

Your trunk is effin awsome! just curious, what materials did you use for the radioactive spill effect? Specifically what kind of lights and plastic you used.

[pelly3s]

its plexi that was sanded on the back side of it then air brushed and laid over a while surface. under the plexi in a few spots are 1 watt leds and then there are like 5 1' led strips

[Toast_Burner]

I am going to do something similar like a window to my amps. I'm thinking maybe a frosty blue look.

Andrew my man theres more to come. its just pure insanity at this point. I'm not happy with the way the black panels turned out but what the hell we arent body guys we gave it one hell of an attempt. theres a few other things we need to work on like securing everything a little better its a tiny bit noisy.
