That is what annoys me the most. Wish I sent payment in Iraqi Dinar.

 

A couple late nights ago I was playing with a new app on my iPhone, Snaseed. I'm by far no professional photographer but here are the results. Oh and the pictures were taking with my iPhone.

 

Damn Robert! That app really brought out the color. I'm gonna have to give it a try.

 

Yeah. Again that was on my iPhone very late at night. I'm sure on my MacBook I could do even better with more attention to detail.

 

Think I've said this before but I love your ride. Especially the wheels. The lip on them go well with the trim on doors. Flows nicely!

 

Thanks! I dig yours as well.

 

My car aspires to be your car

Looks fantastic.

 

Haha! Thanks. Don't think mine is that worthy but I do appreciate it.

When you're ready for some wheels hit me up!

 

Turned in my two week notice this morning. I'll be home for about three or four weeks before starting a new position in Afghanistan. Looking forward to be getting some wheel time in the G and the Z.

 

Good news! I'm sure you won't believe how much your kiddo has grown.

 

I Skype at least once a day if not twice. It crazy how much he's grown already!

 

Added the 5mm spacers. Tried adding 2-5mm spacers on one wheel to net a +30 but I didn't want to lower the car on the ground as there wasn't enough threads to secure the lugnuts.

So the specs:
Before: 245/40-19x9.5 +40




After: 245/40-19x9.5 +35




Now I haven't drove the car with the spacers. I did turn the wheels right/left and inspected the inner wheelwell. Saw no issues of tires touching anything. Also even with the Swift springs I don't foresee any fender issues. I do want to run a 255/40 though. The 245's just look stretched on the 9.5" wide wheel. I'm curious if a 9.0 would've avoided the tire stretch. Lastly, need a front camber kit. I can see the front wheels cambered and I hate that. I much rather have a squared alignment. Gonna follow up with SPL on front camber arms.

So what have I learned.... I think the following is a perfect set-up for the rwd sedan;
Front: 255/40-19x9.5 +35 (possibly a 245/40-19x9.0 +35)
Rear: 285/35-19x10.5 +40

 

If your goal is to make the top of the rim flush with the edge of the fender, it looks like you're there.

When did you do this... the night you stepped off the plane?

OMG, your garage floor. I hate you.

 

LOL Did it this morning. Really only took about 20 mins.

Thanks! I had the floor done before we moved in. Sadly the first day I was backing my Z into the third spot, my downpipes scratch the entry for a good 8+ inches.

 

Third spot? Sonofabitch.

If I could go back in time 17 years, I'd smack my wide-eyed, house-buying self in the head.

Carry on, Robert. Welcome back to the States for as long as it lasts.
