new wheels: caution low clearance
#1
Picked up my wheels of chris (05Blackzx5) and after getting some tires through our man Ken, and a hook up on install from Cambridge tire i finally got them mounted.

The only thing i told my self is, if im too low to get into my driveway then i got a problem... well its a good thing i took calculus to say the least

It feels good to get the ol pontoons of the car and into something with a stiff sidewall again.

PS the SVT side skirts are getting paint matched to car!

For those wondering what the ride height is at measurement wise, 22 1/2" up front and 22 5/8" out back to the fender.

List of things to do.....

1. Paint that thing on the roof.
2. Get rid of the stickers and then get rid of the g/f that made you put that sticker on your car that's says I love my g/f. WTF.
3. Go take that stuff in the trailer to the dump.
4. Reseal that driveway.

That ought to keep you busy. But the car looks great. But I wouldn't want to ride in it. My back just cringes looking at it.
