Protege stance/stock vs. after exhaust

[Onehalfasia]

Heres a few recent pictures, wheels are 15x7 +35 with 25mm spacers and 205/50/15's, groundcontrols on Zx2 SR struts with cut perches(front about an inch raised, rear pretty much fully lowered). Next is stock BP header vs pasesetter and what my exhaust guy did to fix the leaky flange.

good luck with those spacers... hope you like replacing wheelbearings . you basically just changed your wheel offset to +10mm

Wheel bearing replacement ftl. I still havent re-fixed mine yet lol. Why is he going to have to do that? +10 is bad? Whats good? lol

[therieldeal]

you want your wheels to be somewhere around +40. the less offset you have the more strain you put on the bearings

[Pox]

So he needs more spacers? Im a noob @ wheels.com =[

[therieldeal]

no, his wheels would have been fine without the spacers at 35mm offset. spacers reduce your offset.

Aha Gotcha! Good to know. Thanks for the quick replies. =]

Looks like he screwed up...I mean rolled...his fenders.

for a second i thought those were work rzr's. You need to get a fender rolling tool or learn the proper way to do it with a baseball bat. Those wheels dont look like they are +35 offset, but if you say so. It looks good overall though, i like the stance

[therieldeal]

its because of the spacers that his wheels dont look like a 35mm offset... hes basically running a 10mm offset.

domo, they're hubcentric

[therieldeal]

doesnt matter, the weight of the car is now sitting out much furthur from the bearing, giving it way more leverage to wear the bearing out. dont believe me.. but you'll see in a few thousand miles

they're work ewing rsz's, used to have a red lip, thought about repainting them. I wish there was a local place that I could rent a roller from. Its difficult with a bat, I'm sure theres a technique, i just kinda went at it.
