i stand corrected. upon closer insp looks like the rear dish is just way too much dish for any narrowbody car to accommodate at 11".

just odd why you'd go with 11s v. 12s since you're using 315s anyways.

12" is just insane steamroller.

looks SUPERB.

It makes me SO uncomfortable knowing that I really need to wash and polish mine, but at 30 odd degrees outside.....it's tough. Damn, I envy you guys on the hot side of the country!

Don't be a wuss!

Just did a driveway wash at 18F here in MN! Car looks great but there is a nice ice patch in the driveway. . .

Very nice, I know you must have spent a good chunk of your day on it, and it's certainly worth it. Look at that shine!

Yeah, I went slow and did everything including the black trim with a black trim restorer. All in all six hours and an aching back! I guess I'm not as young as I used to!

eeps 18degF! Actually, wax won't even be effective if ambient temps are under 40degF or so. It will just be a solid piece and might not bond to the surface.

I found a secret heated car wash a few minutes away. Hot water, I just bring my diapers and assorted stuff and do my summer hand wash routine indoors...no icy spots on the driveway.
