Nice!

 

Looks nice.

 

Probably a wise choice on tire size and tread pattern. They measure out to be around half an inch smaller diameter than what I am running and there is no aggressive side lugs to rub the upper front control arms. BUT, as mentioned previously, I fully expect them to rub in the wheel wells in situations such as this:


I understand that this is clearly set up on purpose as a test, but if you really go off-road, it is not that hard to find yourself in a similar situation. I highly recommend that you remove the mud guard/wheel well liner on the right rear in order to locate, inspect, and understand the consequence of rubbing through/puncturing/or kinking a coolant line. The lines in the front of the wheel arch are feed and return coolant lines for the rear heater (the A/C lines are run in the left rear wheel arch.

It looks great. Get out there and have some fun, but make wise decisions on where you go and have a buddy on speed dial for those time it just doesn't work out.

 

I'll look into that. I probably won't be doing any serious off roading until I have the car for a few moths and truly know it's capabilities which I know it has a lot and that's why I'm looking into everything more and waiting it out compared to how I did with my D2 which I took off-row immediately haha

Also how'd that happen to your car?

 

The plan was to drive off to the right, but there was a log on the bottom that was quite slippery and I couldn't get over it. It ended up pushing me into deeper water and then when I tried to reverse up the bank the gravel was too soft. I had to call a buddy. My carpet in the driver's footwell was wet for 2 weeks. I've been having a lot of trouble lately, it may be because it was sunk, or it could be unrelated.
