There is a wicked looking line of storms heading this way.

Doesn't look good for tonight.

Looking better on the radars for a bit?

It depends on your camber.
Some are running up to a +45 offset on 17x9's but at stock height and camber. If you intend on lowering, then +35 is the ideal offset plus or minus 3-5 depending on camber. But as close to +35 is what you want which allows you room for up to -2.5 of front camber. Rear is not an issue as there is extra clearance.

Thanks. So many choices!

Also Ken and I are toying with the idea of an epic cruise to Manassus Virginia on the weekend of Aug 9-10 for EXPO862014. If anyone else is interested in joining up, let us know.

Cars and Coffee is pretty much done by 1.

I might be in for Virginia. Are you guys just doing the weekend? Any ideas on departure times and hotels and the like?

I may just show up tomorrow at Canadian Tire Centre.
Not sure about Manassus Virginia…
too much work for Kenny to keep us together! LOL!
Still have to post my cruise pictures.

AznKirby · 06-14-2014, 12:35 AM

Don't know about you guys, but the rain in Montreal is INSANE
It felt like someone was just constantly throwing buckets of water on my car. Scary drive that's for sure.

So I managed to fit the rear bumper in the car. Barely fit. I had to twist it a little (It was my old accidented bumper anyway)
So I'd recommend you take a bigger car if you ever had to do it! Cargo space is ridiculous in the FR-S

I would leave Friday am stay in Carlisle pa then get to manassas sat night show on Sunday drive home Monday - it is 9+ hours Ottawa to manassas va - that is a bit too long for my driving taste
And no way am I sleeping in my car! Book me a room I will share if there is two Queen beds non-smoking
I might reserve a couple rooms at the motel6 Harrisburg pike (Carlisle) for the Friday night if some can get a deal in va hotel
