Default As promised. Pictures of the Silver Sled with stock 5spokes and 20mm spacers.

Been running this set up for a year, zero issues, better cornering. Car is at stock heights. See pic poster for more at level 2 and 1. I think the wider stance looks better than 402mods (JMO)

Level 1:

Default Looks good =) I have 25mm spacers on my twin spokes

Default Thanks. They may look the same as your 25mm's because...

the cross section profile on these tires is really wide for 225/55/R17's (crap big-o euro tour tires - don't ask, it's a story).

I bet PS-2's might look a little less flush to the fender. Falken's definitely would - those are very narrow.

Default Thanks! Really a poor-man's substitute for BBS rgr's or rsgt's ;-) BTW: I cheated that sky...

with a polarized lens filter - really pops the colors... It was a nice day though. One of the three hundred we'll have this year.

Ive mentioned this before, but your wheels are ridonkadonk. (that's good)

Default Any ride quality issues?

IE any extra at speed wobbles or car feels unstable?

Default Watch for premature wheel bearing wear +

Every car I've bumped-up the wheel/tyres on, the bearings inevitably gave way prematurely.
They're relatively cheap on some cars, but methinks they cost a Kings Ransom on the Allroad.

Something to do with load applied where it wasn't designed for...!

Default Kind of what I thought. The sky I saw, was viewed from 9000 to 11,000 feet daily

thanks on the rs-gt's and that Cal slang. Reminds me of someof the new words I was introduced to when I came down for that one winter. Hmm lets see, gnarly, stoked and others oh ya and a couple girls that were into a new all girl band called the go-gos.

Again I sure miss that SKY. Ahh, winter in Mammoth.
