New SL's....oh my!

phunk · 12-11-2010, 02:18 PM

got any closeups, around the hub area?

my fronts are shipping to me from cali on monday. still waiting for the 11" rears to show up in the states tho.

i want to get a good look at the hub area. i want to use our CNCs to machine myself a set of 1-piece centercap, hub centric ring, and 5-10mm wheel spacer... all in one. since ill need all those items anyway, it would be quite simple to integrate them all as one lightweight aluminum piece.

i can get a close up for you some time today. just of the hub?

phunk · 12-11-2010, 02:27 PM

that would be great... just a couple shots all around the lug/hub area in the center of the wheel. i would like to see the opening where the centercap goes etc and see what i can determine before my wheels arrive. unfortunately without getting a precise inside diameter of the SLs hub, i cant really bother starting the CAD work.

you sure? haha
this is with the 20mm and -3 camber in the rear

im going back down to a 15mm so i can go wider with less camber

ilive2win · 12-11-2010, 05:46 PM

want to send me your 20mm so i can try them out

j/k

looks good though, i still dont think im going to run spacers. im just going to do the camber kit and go from there. i do want to put wider tires on as well

Just in case you decide you want to try spacers

H&R 15mm-20mm DSR spacers F/S

i guess you might be ok since you aren't running the +12 up front. sure makes me nervous about going with a 255 hahah

ilive2win · 12-11-2010, 06:21 PM

you will probably rub with a 255 up front no? i have a little room with the +22 up front and a 245/40. fully lock it rubs just a tiny little bit with my setup

Spec Jay · 12-11-2010, 06:33 PM

i plan on rolling the lip flat on the front. im also running 5 series smaller. i only rub the fender liner.

phunk · 12-12-2010, 10:58 AM

thanks for the pictures!!

is that lip i see back in there, the edge of a hub centric ring?

NP! Yup that is the hub centric ring

phunk · 12-12-2010, 03:31 PM

excellent... since it is exposed on the inside of the hub opening, that means it will be no trouble to fit a one-piece centercap / hub ring in there!

ilive2win · 12-13-2010, 11:31 AM

thanks holliday, im just going to fix my alignment though. and im going to be raising the car a little bit. we went on a canyon run and i was scraping everything, including "ant poop" as my fiance stated. i need to stiffen the coils up a bit and get some sways. i had some body roll. my front lip hit something as well and chipped the finish on it. it didnt crack the lip though thank god, just took the finish off which is fixable

Raise it we can tune the suspension then worry about sways.

Good times! Man that was a challenge on the way back down and those damn cow crossings and you having to cross them so slow...

haha ya those cow crossings suck. how much do you think we should raise it? maybe a bit lower than yours? i got the video, and its uploading. the video going up wasnt as good as the video coming down
