Wheel Candy!
Finally got em on. I have had em for about 3 weeks. Pulled the rear calipers and replaced with a new set I got from the previous owner. the fronts are Wilwood SL-6s. They were black anodized. Painted them too. I guess I will see how that holds up. Cleaned up in wheel wells. Touched up the rotors with BBQ grill paint I had laying around. 19x11.5 with a 3" lip in the rear with 305/30s Bridgestone RE-11s. Fronts are 18x9.5 with 275/35s. They are just right at the edge. Fronts, eh not so. Not sure what is going on. They hang out a tad. The car was set up by the previous owner with a mild track alignment. Might be shimmed out some. I know some guys were going to 265s. These would still have been out a little. I will try one on the CE vert and see if it is the same on it.
