Default My 15x11's finally arrive.

After waiting about 4 months, they arrive. Gonna do a test fit tomorrow in the daylight. Probably gonna mount up some Hoosier 275s.

Awesome. I can't picture your car at the moment. Flares I am assuming?

These pics are still with my 1 in spacer on the rear. As of now I measure 2 in to the springs and 1.25 in outside the flare. When I take off the spacer, the 275 should roll in there really nice. HOPEFULLY. Time to bite the bullet and pony up the cash for the tires.

I got my set as well. I opted for titanium for the LS car. The CSP car is running black 11's. My co-driver got 2 sets of black 15x11's. He mounted some old A6's to one of the black sets. Time to cut some flares

Got the fronts mounted up. With 60mm springs at 4.25" ride height, they need a 10mm spacer to clear the springs on an NB.

I'm only going rear. Just ordered tires so it will be a while before I get mine mounted.

Finally had a second to slap them on. Clearance is good. Time to sign up for a track day to give them a spin.
