so got my tires installed on my wheels(trusty walmart). and lifetime balancing!!






so i went ahead and did a mojor noob move!!! the old wheels and tires were 17x7.


apparently i was so busy i didn't see the clearance of the rear brake lines and thought nothing of it. i heard something rubbing on the rear, but i was pressed for time and gassed i finally had nitto's. 


so after a couple of blocks and loss in brake pressure i found out the issue!!





ffffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



got the car back to the garage and ordered a new set of ss brake lines. i don't need the front ones so iam selling those for $32 beans shipped if anyone is interested!!

so i just got back into town, and i got to work correcting this brake line issue. i ordered a new set and i moved the brake mounting point on the body.




you do that on both sides, they both have the same place where you are going to mount the line. bend the tubr back alittle.


and violia, you have clearance.. use this for wider wheels when you don't have a clue, thank you


after that i installed my custom plates. and also my backup camera.






good to match the 13.
