    no i wasnt lowered but redhaze isnt either and he says he is rubbing. I sold him the same 20's you see on the third G with the same tire setup so im trying to figure out why he's rubbing and I wasnt

    thats what i thought when i saw them the sidee wall was pretty nice looked all over to see if i could fine the the width of the rim all i found is ET 42 and im guessing the 20x 7.5 or 8 so i have no idea why they rubbed in the front unless the offset is different between the rims and i got the front on the back and the back on the front i doubt that tho the lips on all of them look the same

    Maybe its your rear shocks, your tail probably sags aittle more than gcode, and so replacing shocks will pick you up a bit.

    if I'm not mistaken my wheel was 20x8 or 8.5, it was an 8 for sure.

    this red spot is how much I needed to clear.

    G-code you were probably fine cuz you weren't lowered, yet anyway.
    yea thats why but redhaze is rubbing and im confused why. he's not lowered either.

    I don't think there is adjustment to rear so don't let the shop charge you extra. Unless you got a camber kit or aftermarket control arms.

    wheels are cool, love da lip action. Try new struts, if not 5mm HUB CENTRIC spacers and roll fenders more to accommodate.

    When I first got the G, the ride was fine but it sagged very quickly, and I pulled out GR-2's from it. So don't feel unlucky, it's just maintenance.

    lol i like it to. my favorite one was mortal kombat trilogy with ALL the characterters. I still play it on PS3 but not that much because i dont have anyone to play with but i cant wait for the new one to come out on PS3 in april. I had mortal kombat vs dc universe but that got old to me quick and i traded it in
