Wow. Why would you trade the calais rims in? :S...

You did get ripped off i think, as thats alot to pay, then give them the old ones aswell.. . They sell for like $1800 for 19's with rubber and fitted.. At Tempe Tyres... And they are known for being over priced somewhat!

Might wana go to them and ask what the deal is, check the Tempe Tyres site for a price.. But i think its about $1800... And then show them and ask them WTF

they only gave me about 300-400 for the trade in, which i know isn't much, but my old rims were slightly guttered and i didn't want to go through the hassle of selling them.

They would be the right price if they were the real Eleanors not the HBR Copies.

Depends what tyres you got also, my dads tyres are $900 each (SS-V Ute), so it could be the case.

 

[DevilDRake]

And they're $1740 for 19's at my local tyre shop.. so iono

 

[DevilDRake]

Pedders touring springs all round. With the correct monro shocks... Its what mine is. And the ride is fine, same as stock, just less body roll, not that bumpy, handles alot less like a boat!

19's if you have the extra $$ for tires due to possible camber... 18's if your poor and want to dump it! Haha

Would it camber without being lowered?

Would it camber without being lowered?

No, I was talking about once its lowered. SL you will be fine, but it will only have camber where if you do skids... But if you go lower then SL a camber kit would be a good idea!

 

[DevilDRake]

Yeah i planned on getting a camber kit, you got me confused then lol.

Do i need to roll back the guards for 19"s ?

 

[mrdunu]

Yeah I had to roll my guards - they kept hitting my tyres everytime i went over even the smallest of potholes

 

[luke641]

Yea, roll the gaurds.. I Nearly need to roll mine with my 15's on the back atm

 

[DevilDRake]

How do you get them rolled back?

 

[mrdunu]

I got the guys at Bob Jane to do it - they seem to have some sort of specialised rolling machine
