my acquisition of the allusive DUBs

[ricky_db]

VIDEO ADDED AND HID PICS.

On my epic hunt some field bird from williams chicken i stumbled upon some nice DUBS that detoured my quest thus starting the DUB fitment problems. i argue with the guy about them fitting he said no i said yes. so we test fit and they fit like a fine leather glove imported from the island of peru (while up) but after i drop the car we ran into a little problem . the wheel well . so i cut it out problem solved and now im still tuckin on U2 055 dubs

[atl_galant]

Welcome to the Dub Show... You look like TroubleMakers Twin from another...

[ricky_db]

auuh yes the DUB show. i like your DUBS as well you just had to roll your fenders for the 7.5 to fit?

[atl_galant]

Yep... I still rub in the front left. Looking good man. I hate seeing chrome lips. It makes me want to change up and get my lady some new shoes.

[spdracr]

i love the way our cars look with air rides, it makes me wanna sell all my turbo parts and get an air ride system instead

[Jeffylou87]

That is stupid dope!

[JDM4G64T]

Nice car btw, but kinda defeats the purpose to show the license plate backwards from the inside, and block out the front?!?............lol..

[9G]

hell yah1!

[IceDouTGaLanT]

very nice setup!

[ricky_db]

Nice car btw, but kinda defeats the purpose to show the license plate backwards from the inside, and block out the front?!?............lol..

if you do dont cheap out youl regret it

[lonestar22]

looks sweet, wish the front could tuck a bit more

[ricky_db]

looks sweet, wish the front could tuck a bit more Im Looking Into That Now. I May Jack It Up And See Whats Stoping in It From Slamming in The Front

[B19WHEELS]

This Mofo is sick! Good job, i had to argue with a guy about my 19's i put on my old 8g way back in the day!! I did a month worth of math to insure they would work.. 19x8.5 w/44mm offset..

[IVORY_G]

Looks sick, nice wheels. That rear tuck is bananas! How wide are your wheels? IMO I would swap out your taillights for the 02-03 tails. They have a more updated semi-lux look. Keep up the good work.

[platano]

im not a fan of shiny bling when it comes to Galants and i really fvcking hate big heavy chrome wheels on them, but you pulled this off Hella nice. one of the few G's ive seen well executed on them thangz.

good job.

[ricky_db]

[ricky_db]

10k HIDs just came in yoe! will post pics at sunset

[G-spot]

Does Williams Chicken serve spicy like how Popeyes/Church's do?

[IVORY_G]

they are 20x8.5 thats what the arguement was about lol

Pfffhhh!!! He was trippin! Yeah 8.5" fit fine if u shave the rear fenders. Im rolln 19"x8.5" wit no prob! I just need a drop now...

[Reelax]

they are 20x8.5 thats what the arguement was about lol

20x8.5 will fit (although it is a very tight fit), another texas member did it years ago (withought bags however)... when u go that wide the offset is crucial. what offset are your wheels?

[99 galant]

nice work.

[ricky_db]

20x8.5 will fit (although it is a very tight fit), another texas member did it years ago (withought bags however)... when u go that wide the offset is crucial. what offset are your wheels?

i have to check i think 40 but at its tucking point there is about half a inch clearance

[Reelax]

i have to check i think 40 but at its tucking point there is about half a inch clearance

well the way our rear suspension works, the wheel tops will camber in hard on full compression, but will even out (be vertical) at actual ride height, so going by the clearance to fender measurement is not an accurate way to compare offset. my wheels are flush on tire tuck but i'm on 19x8.5 +48 235/35zr19 (camber corrected for ~3" drop) meaning that i may have even less clearance to fender than you if you are not camber correct at the same height. the reason i asked your offset is because i may be upsizing to 20's soon (my 19's look too small to me w/ my kit) and wanted to compare your fitament to what i'm planning.

[Legendary Galant]

Nice wheels!! good setup also

[ricky_db]

the offset is +38

[Sillyasianz]

*thumbs up*

[ricky_db]

im pretty sure i can give up on the vip styling now. its really not following any trend any more. i guess im just in the dub club now lol

[IVORY_G]

Lol, just plz dont put those Ghetto stickers/decals that Ive seen in my hood like 20", DUBS, etc. It kills the look of the car.

[GUTTAZMITZ]

Those are some madd sexy shoes!.. I'm in the running for some black+chromies but my pockets are hurtin from the holidays.. one of these days though

[ricky_db]

Lol, just plz dont put those Ghetto stickers/decals that Ive seen in my hood like 20", DUBS, etc. It kills the look of the car. Nawl im stayin 90 % badge free the 10% is my S on the trunk 8)

[02on19s]

I'm loving how the Back is tuckin..SICK!..Too bad the front doesn't lay out more

Here's a pic from when I tried on my friends 20's they were 20x7.5- Tucked right in.

http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/13/l_444d8e03db6e45c5b92be9891e9d510d.jpg

[ricky_db]

buying that air setup was the single worst investment i have payed for royally. no front tuckage!! did you have to cut anything in the from to get it that low? i can get maby a inch n1/2 if i start cutting stuff out but then my front sway bar linkages wont fit any more

[Reelax]

the offset is +38 thanks! i think i may do it... but the wheels i want make my current wheels look cheap and my current wheels are more expensive than my car... i'm going to have to think carefully about my next steps w/ this ride.

[ricky_db]

[greddy]

hey reelax, if you do end up with new wheels, how much would you want for your volks?

[Reelax]

dunno yet... if i do decide to do more to my car, i'd probably let them go for $3000 w/ tires (these are special order from japan as they don't come in this color normally).

[E_Emerson88]
