    Thing is going to look sick. No doubt. But from the look of the rears, the front is going to be your challenge. Camber is going to help you there but at the expense of tires. If you stretch too far. Just get a good alignment and they should be fine too.

    You get tires yet? I'm really anxious to see them on.
  • driftin90driftin90 Senior Wagonist
    Sorry. double post
  • No tires yet, sadly :( I'm getting really anxious. Sucks being a broke college student.

  • driftin90driftin90 Senior Wagonist
    you get them mounted up yet? i can't wait to see the results as i'm sure you do too.
  • ledler0321ledler0321 Wagonist
    Funny story actually. I got a call in the middle of class today from my buddy at america's tire. I called him back after class, and i guess they lost my address. So the tires which were supposed to be here today, havent even shipped yet.
  • PavementwagoPavementwago Senior Wagonist
    Freaking lame dude. My les schwab would have had them in know time with no hang ups
  • ledler0321ledler0321 Wagonist
    Tires still hadn't showed up. So yesterday I called America's tire to ask where they were and the said they actually just arrived there yesterday. Sounds like crap to me but whatever. So I'm taking my wheels to Vancouver this weekend when I go see the Fam and getting the tires mounted. Should be on the car Friday sometime. Going to a show at Woodburn on Sunday.

    discounttiredirect.com ftw..can't wait to see these bad boys mounted on your wagon!
  • ledler0321ledler0321 Wagonist
    I would've gone to DTD but I know the people at America's tire. So I got a discount on the tires and they paid for two of the free replacement certs :)
  • schutt721schutt721 Wagonist
    sweet! it is always nice to know people in the right places..
  • ledler0321ledler0321 Wagonist
    I know you guys have been waiting forever to see it. Because I've been waiting forever to put them on. If you want to see it in person I'll be at Woodburn dragstrip on Sunday all day.

    that looks sick. Can't wait to see it in person. They look to fit much better than I anticipated.

    Wow!
  • schutt721schutt721 Wagonist
    damn..looks good...did you have to pull the fronts at all? Also what wheels are those..
  • ledler0321ledler0321 Wagonist
    I pulled the fronts a little bit. Mostly just rolled them with a baseball bat. The backs barely had to be rolled at all. The wheels are ESM 002-R 16x9 +15

    Sexy!! Love the new wheels/tire combo on your car, and that center cap sets it off nicely. Congrats on the new shoes, I'm sure that feels great! Perfect weather this weekend for cruising around too. My wheels and coilovers are sitting here in my living room driving my crazy, cause I just want them on my wagon right now. Still trying to figure out tires and where to get them. I looked into Discount Tire Direct, but the guys at the Discount Tire store said that after you pay them to put the wheels on, it pretty much comes out to the same price in the end anyways. Is this true, or is buying them online, having them shipped and then installed here better/cheaper?
  • ledler0321ledler0321 Wagonist
    They're right. It comes out about the same. It really helps if you know someone at the tire shop. But America's/discount tire is pretty helpful so just tell them you're trying to work within a budget and they should help you out on the price a little bit
  • PavementwagoPavementwago Senior Wagonist
    Looking good and not crazy camber like me :) my new set hasn't arrived yet
  • ledler0321ledler0321 Wagonist

  • schutt721schutt721 Wagonist

  • driftin90driftin90 Senior Wagonist
    You should meet up with us at woodburn mall's overflow lot.
  • ledler0321ledler0321 Wagonist
