Damn. got a vibration in the car now. Probably an unbalanced front wheel.

I was also told that it could be a lug nut too tight. Not buying that one. Gotta go back in the morning. Ugh.......................

But at least I'll look good while I shake.

PQ retorque your wheelnuts as they should be redone after 50 miles on any alloy wheel. and eliminate that possability.
Most people don't and I've seen quite a few that do come loose.

Those wheels and tires fit perfectly! I thought it was impossible to put 315 tires on a lowered car! Your wheel salesperson must know their stuff

Congrats on the new rollers. Car looks stunning now. Factory wheels suck!

PQ:
What size are those wheels? I know they are 22", but what width and which tires did you get? I love the look of those wide rear tires.

You have the same drop springs I have. Did you have to do anything special to avoid the tires from rubbing? Are there any problems with that? I may do something similar.

Rears are 22x10.5 with 315/25 tires.
Fronts are 22x9.5 with 265/30 tires.

You will need to order themwith the proper offsets for them to fit right. Preferably from Nine Ball. He handled it all for me.

Other than that, no fitment problems.
