VMP Odin/Loki Wait?

[JLTH2183]

Hopefully these arrive soon, with the Odin and my stock 275s I'm hoping the 305s make a difference. Also waiting on the motor mounts and bump steer kit from Steeda to arrive hopefully tomorrow.

The wheels arrived 2 days after the order (to PR)

I also bought the steeda rear camber ajustable, that was backorder like 1 month.
Please leave me a review of that engine mount after installation.

I installed the Steeda engine mounts after work and did not have much room to lift engine with my pole jack bc the blower was making contact with k brace so I had to remove the motor mount brackets to remove the factory mounts, so it took more time but the install was not difficult. (There was a bunch of blue locktite on bolts, take your time removing them they are tight) both bolts and nuts can easily be removed from the top before raising vehicle and using pole jack to support/raise engine. I did not even disconnect the steering shaft on drivers side. The kit allows adjustment of 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4 inch drop and I went with the 1/2 drop and my blower no longer rubs the under side of hood but now I'm wondering if I would of lowered it by 3/4 of an inch if I could reinstall my factory strut tower brace. As it sits right now I don't believe an extra 1/4 inch would allow the strut tower brace to be installed but I'll take some measurements and check again later. Also I'm happy to report no increase of NVH at all. Not on start up, or at idle, or cruise or rowing through the gears. I did not install the black bushings, and used the softer red durometer bushings for the mounts. But I also already have for a long time now Steeda's dual rate springs and their adjustable struts and shocks and camber plates, Extreme G-Trac Brace, IRS Subframe Bushing Support System, IRS alignment kit, Vertical links, Differential Bushing Insert System (also used red bushings), Barton hybrid 3, and whiteline Mt82 mount Bushing Insert. I still have to install bump steer kit and some bmr stuff and do alignment but that won't be till next week . BTW fingers crossed I'm on 3rd tune revision and the cold start stumble/RPM fluctuation so far has not happened in 2 days and car drives amazing. Still waiting on my 19x11 wheels and 305 tires to arrive. Happy 4th everyone

Testing

So I got the same wheels as you did but my aftermarket and stock lug nuts do not fit

Testing

So I got the same wheels as you did and yeah the center cap fits, but my aftermarket and stock oem lug nuts don't fit! Glad I was thinking ahead and test fit the bare wheel onto the car without the tire mounted . What did you use to bolt the wheels down?

Yes I noticed that when tried to use the black gorilla lug , right now I have the lug from the wheel spacers that i remove but I need new ones too, not sure what fits. Also I applied some black tape around the wrench to avoid scratch the wheel paint.
