Wheels and tyres
A measured street wheel and tyre package with confirmed offsets, brake clearance, load rating, alignment and installation scope.
Planning a custom vehicle build in Austin
A staged Austin street-vehicle build that resolves fitment and mechanical work before protection, interior and electronics, then finishes with documented road checks.

The path
What we considered
Suspension setup
A street-focused suspension package that accounts for the wheel setup, daily ride quality, normal load and final alignment targets.
Paint protection
Front-end paint protection with the existing finish inspected first, exact panel coverage documented and aftercare explained.
Interior upholstery
A durable custom front-seat retrim with materials and stitching reviewed in person, while retaining the required factory seat functions.
Audio and lighting
A factory-integrated audio upgrade with protected wiring, retained controls, measured electrical load and professional tuning.
Exhaust
A street-legal exhaust choice with fitment, material, cabin drone, heat and future service access reviewed before installation.
Build sequence and final checks
A build sequence that completes wheel and suspension geometry before cosmetic work, followed by alignment and a documented post-install check.
The reasoning
Decisions and why
Wheels and tyres
The forged wheel set was chosen only after a fitment measurement established the clearances and dimensions for the vehicle.
Suspension setup
The coilover package offered the adjustment range we needed while keeping geometry checks in the installation plan.
Paint protection
The full-front film protected the highest-wear panels without committing the entire vehicle to a colour change.
Interior upholstery
The custom front-seat pair improved the parts of the cabin used every day without expanding into a full interior retrim.
Audio and lighting
The DSP amplifier and tuning package improved the system while keeping the factory controls and installation serviceable.
Exhaust
The stainless cat-back offered the sound change we wanted while keeping emissions and daily cabin comfort in the discussion.
Build sequence and final checks
The post-install geometry check gave the finished build a clear mechanical sign-off after the wheel and suspension changes.
