What offset do you think it would take to get them flush (+25)?

Id have to get out the tape measure.

madwi 07-26-2019 08:31 PM

I think easiest way to remedy is to go back to a 305 tire when these wear out.

Well, maybe the cheapest. Of course that depends on what tire you run. :rofl2:

That would probably be a perfect fit. I am not sure what tires are available in that size, never looked before.

Flush has everything to do with your camber setup :ugh2:
These can be flush with a tick more negative camber/ but will have to adjust toe positive afterwards to get it corrected :tup:

Glad my tire guy chimed in. :icon17: :tup:

Mounted an 18" mirror to help in lining up the car on the lift solo. Works pretty good.

Wired up four of six LED panel lights on the ceiling. I need to space them better but this at leasts gives me an idea of what to expect for amount of light. Thinking there should be another set between these two. Might as well spend another few dollars. The garage is soaking me more than the Z does. :icon17:

You never have enough lights and outlets in a garage.

You got that right. Looking at recessed lights for around the perimeter. Might as well do it now before I close off and insulate the ceiling.

It has been fun to work on. Learned a lot along the way with a few bumps and bruises but overall a good experience so far. :tiphat:
EW has helped and busted *** with the garage work. We got all the walls insulated before covering with the OSB sheets.

EW and JChammond helped with putting the lift together and initial firing it up.

Bought 5 of these flush mount LED lights to try out.

You putting a pull down ladder in? If not, you should. It makes it easy to get up there later if you have to do anything.

You're this far down the rabbit hole. Why not.

madwi 08-07-2019 07:50 AM

Idk, I might just have to get a skinny friend to go up there if needed. :icon17:

When you are my size, you always check the weight limit!

Testing out the wiring job so far on the little LED lights. I knew I shoulda installed a box for a switch before insulating the wall. Live and learn. Right now they are wired to the overhead panel lights and they really need to be on seperate switches. I'll just run a piece of metal conduit from ceiling down the wall to a switch, problem solved. :tup:

i like it duuude.

JARblue 08-09-2019 07:48 AM

Have you closed up the ceiling yet? If you still have access to the top plate, you might as well cut a new box in the wall and fish the wiring down from the top. Much better look than exposed conduit. Not that it really matters in the garage...

I have the first row against the back wall done and half of the second row. With the way the clips are and everything, Id have to take almost all the crap down to get at where Id want it. Dont plan on opening the walls up for the switch, laziness is going to win this round.

madwi 08-10-2019 03:59 PM

Started getting the panel lights mounted correctly. real nice fit on the faces with the 7/16" OSB.

No. More than enough of everything now.

madwi 08-10-2019 08:47 PM

Actually you are partially right. I need to install some lights for under the lift.

Rusty 08-10-2019 08:57 PM

Have one friend that installed lights on the walls. With all the lights on in his garage. You can see everything. There is no dark spots or shadows. You can see imperfections in the paint that you can't see outside in the day time.









Besides. I'm giving you a hard time. :rofl2:
