Welcome Jose.  So, you have hood spacers because of fitment issues with your hood and fenders after an accident?  Must be crazy bad if you have to use hood spacers.  Glad to hear you're getting it fixed though.  What's the offset on the new wheels?  Hope they don't stick out too much and you don't have to run ridiculous camber. 

BTW, I'm not sure if you were trying to hide it or not, but your plates aren't blurred out on the first 2 pics.

timot_one: no lol i had hood spacers but after the crash it made it all look uneven haha , and the offset is i cnt remember if 15 or 20 at the moment but yeah they are gonna b stickin out sumwut my btires are stretched so it will look hellaflushh lol thats wut im goin  for tho ... and yeah those picds r older thats y there blurred but the other ones i got tired if doin that hehe

Mike: thanks

B.R.O: thanks dude whites always been one of my faves also next to graphite and satin silver



Title: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: timot_one on January 24, 2012, 11:01:12 PM
Holy shit!  That's a wicked low offset.  Don't do too much of a stretch and run too much negative camber, otherwise it can be dangerous.  I like flush wheels, but the hellaflush thing can be taken too far.

Title: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: timot_one on February 02, 2012, 11:03:22 PM
Okay.  I'll make 2 points.

1. My question was, "Were you speeding when you got a speeding ticket?"

2. I've driven through MD in my Accord a bunch of times and never had a problem with the police.  You sure they're just not out to get you?


Title: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: daslowun on February 03, 2012, 04:41:53 PM
no to anwser ur question bro i wasnt because he aint even have like a record or anythin he just said it "looked" like i was goin fast hehe
stupid but idk i think they are like no lie yo because theyve pulled me over multiple times... and can never get me with anything! once they pulled my girl over when she was drivin it and said my tints was too dark blah blah they are 35% buddy so he looked stupid also then me for the same bs... then they said that one of my HIDs was flickering which it was minimal not even noticeable.. i replaced it then they started messin with me over my tag ... like Damnnnnn! man shiit can i just get a  break! lol the funny thing is its only Greenbelt city cops that mess with me , which is the city where i live haha ima just have to move...


Title: Re: [profile]daslowun

oh damn thats a lot of driving lol


Title: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: timot_one on February 03, 2012, 10:21:11 PM
I like to drive my car.  I've had the police try and give me a hard time when I lived in MA because I had out of state plates.  Usually, they had a reason to pull me over though.  That's why I asked.  It's easy to assume that they're "out to get you", but most people think they don't have to follow the same laws that everyone else does. 

Also, could you continue to post in plain English and use proper punctuation?  It's next to impossible to read/understand what you post if it's more than one sentence.  We're all intelligent people in here, so there's no reason why we should act any other way.

I agree. To be honest, if your car looks like it does in your signature, I don't see a reason for them to pull you over during the day; unless your tint is really dark.  How dark is your tint?  Do they pull people over for no front plate in MD?  If so, do you have a front plate?  If its not for tint or for no front plate, maybe its your driving?

They also cannot give you a speeding ticket unless they denote how they knew your were speeding, unless the law is different in MD.


Title: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: daslowun on February 04, 2012, 12:35:27 AM
thats my whole point! my tint is not dark, and it looks stock to me?? lls and i know they arent " out to get me" im just sayin im sick of them pulling me over for dumb bs and dont do anything at the end of the day. i do not drive like a dumbass so that gets ruled out and sum ppl have told me they said sometin to them about there front tags but i guess its all in how lucky u are becuase like i said i went on for  a lil over a year with no front tag and never got pulled over at all? but screw that its not worth being harassed by a cop over a simple tag... so i just put it on

Post by: daslowun on March 06, 2012, 09:39:47 AM
Thanks man, my wheels are 18 x 8.75 +20 all around. My tires are Pirelli PZero Neros 215/40/18.. They aren't as stretched as other peoples setups because I personally did not want that muuch stretch.. But they ride fine, the rears are rolled and the front I didnt do anything. No rubbing, and I KEPT my fender liners, cant take those off! Lol

Car looks awesome. where did you get the rear window visor/wing?

Title: Re: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: daslowun on March 06, 2012, 01:12:46 PM
Thanks bro, I got it on ebay.
I dont have any right now, ill take sum shots and upload them. Its nothing outrages like other setups ive seen. But im happy and it rides great.


Title: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: James_P on March 06, 2012, 02:09:33 PM
your car looks awesome with the xxr's. im gettin 18x9's, and im debating if i should do 215's or 225's. pics would be great, thanks bro


Title: Re: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: daslowun on March 06, 2012, 03:43:16 PM
18 x 9.75? 215 would be alot of stretch, 225 would fill it in a bit better, but in the end its up to you. Word of advice.. If u get that size with +20 offset be prepared to get upper control arms, camber kit because u gonna b running hell of a lot of negative camber... If u want them to sit nice.. I had that size before.. Glad I got rid of them


Title: Re: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: daslowun on March 06, 2012, 03:46:47 PM
(http://img.tapatalk.com/42575417-775d-b3c3.jpg)check out the rear wheel,.i had to drop it more.. And camber it in even more, btw thats 215.. The front sits so far out its stupid.. There 225s....maaaad rubbing issues


Title: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: HEcreated487 on March 06, 2012, 04:02:48 PM
Liking those wheels, but that poke  ???... So what are your plans to combat the rubbing?


Title: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: James_P on March 06, 2012, 05:12:04 PM
noo, im only getting 8.75. are the pics with the 9.75's? are you saying get a front camber kit with 8.75 or 9.75?


Title: Re: Re: [profile]daslowun
Post by: daslowun on March 06, 2012, 07:31:50 PM
Noo the 1st pic is how I sit NOW! with 8.75 , the pic above is 9.75 thats why its sticking out so much. get camber kit either way, you dont want to go thru tires like socks lol
