yeah super old thread. It also gave me the inspiration to get the same size Classics on my last two sets. Great thread for sure.

What did you have in mind, set up wise?

Obviously you are lowered. How much did you go? Any idea what your ground clearance is - say to the tray under the drivers seat? I have all the gear for lowering in the Spring - but the guy who runs my local car wash (2015 owner) says "I won't be able to wash your car any more and you'll hit speed bumps all the time." Would a 2in drop be all that bad?

Not sure who you're talking to...But IMO if you have these types of concerns, then maybe a lowered car isn't for you...especially since you don't wash your own car LOL

Its common sense IMO...Lower the car that already sits very low to the ground and you're just asking for having to be even more careful about where you drive it.

I am now thinking the same set up as what you guys have on here. I think that it looks great. Just need to save up a couple more months and then I can pull the trigger!

How do you really determine the amount of backspacing that is available? Face thickness and barrel or? I'm looking to rebuild my classics and Would like something a little more aggressive and don't really know where to start.

Also, sorry to bring this super old thread back to life but now pictures that may have been included at the time no longer show up on here so I'm reviving it a bit haha
