And the passenger side fender and inner liner moved and trimmed.... harsh turns (like everymorning keaving the house) the tire would just barely touch the last 1/4-1/2 or so of the fender itself and the fender liner would get pulled up from the fender.... killed both birds with one stone... havent done the metal work to the left fender yet, just trimmed the liner... overall much better i actually did a few lock to lock figure 8s in the parking lot at work when i was done...

The wheels have a +15 offset which works out to something close to 5.6" backspacing, which puts them right about flush with the fender lips!!!

And my quick 15 minute alignment after i was finished just to get it home... really want to increase the caster a little bit and bring the camber to about .5 on both sides... the factory tires were wearing on the outer edges... especially the right front... but the only adjustment i had really needed to make was the right toe which ended up at +0.90

The plugs were fouled but no caked oil, which usually intakes a ring issue .. the plugs are sitting about the way they came out of the engine, 4 on the left in the pic are the 4 from the passenger side , the other 4 are as one would expect are out of if the driver side
