na, i still like having zero wheel gap... but then again, i'm not dumped eh?

Everyone here, but you manny, has been right. They should of been bent the other way, professionally rewelded, and you need a new alignment. The car may look good, but that doesn't mean shit in terms of your safety, and the safety of those around you.

The body of your car will slowly start to buckle because of the pinch weld, the tires are going to become bald within a few months, and you're just making the car handle even worse.

But, ya know, to each his own and shit.

What I meant was what Adam alluded to. You're trying to be "dumped" on a wheel/tire combo that's TALLER than stock. Yes you have no wheel gaps, but there are people with smaller overall setups lower than you. Meaning they have to crank their coils lower. I doub't you're maxed out. You can crank those things down past the bottom of the clevis. it's open.

What are those wheel specs? They are sunk as hell. The drop looks good, but yeah, no more ghetto shit.

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Wed Aug 11, 2010 9:39 pm

Probably 17x7 with a 40 offset.

Dammit.I don't got internet on my pc anymore so can't quote people and tell them what I was gonna say..

So anyways I know what everyone is saying. There's a limit to lowering a vehicle. Yes I gotta weld the piece so it can be safe and better. 3 at Adam..my ride quality hasn't suffered any. It feels good to me. My damp setting is like 8 clicks from hard up front and I don't hit anything. 4..yes I'm going to have faster tire wear because of my current settings but I'm hoping to get rid of these wheels this winter anyways. I'm going to go with 16s next summer season.

Anthony-if I remember correctly they are
17x9
35mm offset
215/45 Hankook summer tire with -2 camber so it don't rubb on the fender.
Fenders are rolled anyways but u knew that

no way those wheels are 9 inches wide, and weld that shit up, looks good though

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Aug 12, 2010 10:57 am

That's because they're not 9" wide, they 're only 7" wide.

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Thu Aug 12, 2010 2:06 pm

lol, so what the hell is he doing posting them as 17x9's??

i know i read the real size somewhere but was too lazy to look

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Thu Aug 12, 2010 2:08 pm

Meh, when you're as dumb as Manny, a 7 looks very similar to a 9...

really ever run a nine in the offset he said they were??? if you have you would know what i mean, but unfortunately you only post whore on here and not actually mod your neon, so shut the fuck up Sean. you arrogant bastard...

Ummmmm no.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Fri Aug 13, 2010 9:33 am

You wouldn't be able to run a 9" wide wheel with a +35 offset. It would need to be around 20-25mm to clear IIRC. Although I've seen a few at +28mm.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Fri Aug 13, 2010 1:10 pm

It is 17 x 7.

Anyways I'm contemplating on selling the coils and going with a mild drop on tokico blues and eibach springs.

Well see what happens.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the price of having the pinch welds repaired.
