Default Re: New Wheels in, need help

I got sick and tired of waiting on the SS brake lines and put everything together today with the stock lines. I sprayed the poor dirty thing off and drove around the neighbor hood for a few miles. Have the MikeR adjustable links and camber arms but as you can see haven't been adjusted yet.

I ended up with 12mm spacers on front (TSW Max wheel 19 X 8.5 with 43mm offset) equals effective 31mm offset and 245/35ZR19 and had cut not one full coil off but more than 3/4 coil as well as cutting 1" off the shock bumpers. I had 3 dot spring pads stock left as is for now.

15mm spacers on back (TSW Max wheel 20 X 10.5 with 40mm offset) equals effective 25mm offset and 285/25ZR20 and cut 1 full coil off as well as cut 1" off the shock bumper. I had 2 dot spring pads stock left as is for now and installed MikeR adjustable camber arms and sway bar links.

I installed new brakes so I was setting them in too and trying to listen for anything rubbing but only noticed the rear right in a deep pot hole and the front on hard brake after acceleration. I have about a credit card clearance between the inside top front tires and the upper control arm bolt.

I will put it back up tomorrow and re-torque everything and look for tire slicing and/or rubbing and better align the rear camber. Rides pretty smooth but I didn't have enough experience driving before all the suspension and tire/wheel mods to know any different. Driving with full left and right turns forward and backwards with no rubbing that I could hear.
