Looking good.
I have a question about the offset of your wheels. I see you got the TSW wheels which have an offset of 35. I also see you used spacers for the front to clear the bags?
with the 35 offset in the back how close is it to rubbing when you are down all the way?
And how close is the front wheel to the bag in the front? what size spacer do you have installed?
**Also why don't you get that front down more? is it because you would hit the drive axle?

I'm installing air right now and i'm trying to order wheels because the 42offset is rubbing bad on the front but i'm not sure if I order 35 it will clear back and I'm sure even with 35 in the front a spacer will be needed.
Thanks,
Joel

My front bags are no where near the tires. I have air struts so the airbags are tucked in there nicely.

I'm not using spacers with these wheels, I only used them for the last TSW bc whoever put them on the car was an idiot. I am not sure of the offset, I just ordered them from the company and they sent the right ones. Also, those back tires are right up against the fenders with it laid out probably couldn't even get a sheet of paper in there.

I try and drive the car with 40psi. I cannot get the front to go down any lower without cutting and modifying the air struts that I have and I don't want to do that right now. I have been toying with the idea of putting hydraulics or even air cylinders in the front so that I can lay it out more. It needs to be lower!!

I think I answered everything Hehe.

One more question.
You say you can't get a piece of paper between your back fender and the tire. How close is the rim to the fender? Does the tire stick out more then the rim. I'm thinking I could just go smaller tire say 205 or 215. What size tire do you have now if you don't mind me asking.
