Okay. I saw what I noticed is that prod had issues with the CADILLAC rims he fitted. These just appear to have a thick spoke design but apparently they fit just fine. Yes, the price is amazing, and I really want to order them, but IDK what the wife at home would do if four rims just showed up at the door. 7MM shouldnt cause any rubbing issues and GRegg is at stock height anyway. UGH WHAT TO DO

I know its not the proper forum, but a quick question is the quick strut any lower for the LT than the LS? I know the LT's are gas. gonna probably do new KYB struts, was hoping to do a quick strut, but wanted to drop a 1/2 to an inch. no more than that. What about a cobalt quick strut?
hey hey hey! Did you need the special American racing lugs or did you use your stockers??? I wanna know because I may have, a set of rims sitting in my eBay cart:O

so there is a 4.5 mm clearance between the caliper and rim. Acceptable right? The stockers have damn near a mile of clearance lol

As in the spoke I mean
