I will when I can afford it lol. Im scared to grind any more of the lower ball joint bolts so I have to get bigger wheels asap. I haven't drove it yet. Lol jus up my driveway.

I hear that. You'd be fine cutting just enough to keep them from rubbing but I feel on just wanting to get bigger wheels.

Yea but you're only cutting the nut. The spindle will never get any closer or further away from the wheel. The nut is where you need clearance. If you can grind it enough to be able to fit a credit card between the nut and wheel that would be plenty. And there is still plenty of nut there. I know it seems like you're grinding a lot to make them fit but it's really not much tbh. It's a good idea to go ahead and get the clearance you need even if you go to 20s just in case you get a flat and have to run a spare. Imo.

Put the factory nuts back on and grind those down instead

Decided to take off the FTS and put on a zone 4.5 and just daily drive it with stockers on it. I like the look and still drives nice.

Looks so good Chad! When you colormatched the headlight trim did you paint the chrome or get a set of paintable lights?

Ha thanks man! I took the headlights all apart and had the chrome painted. Did the same with the grille. It was a good bit of work tho.
