Welcome to the flush and proper offset crew

most people go for the weak sauce fitments but there are a few of us braves souls that look to push the limits of this car! Great job and with 305's you will need a lil more camber in the rear

^ thanks bullitt...and hells yeah I agree, most people go way too conservative on wheel fitments with this car. Once I get new tires Ill take your advice on the camber and toe adjustments.

Looks great man. Nice setup.

**** looks awesome jmlenz... with the spacers, are they huncentric ones where you bolt on to existing studs??

I had friends having problems with the ICHIBA spacers, so just becareful running it really aggressivly. just a heads up...

The car looks sweet thooooo

Nice wheels. The 20 inchers really fill nice and you've done the offset really well. The only thing I don't like is the tire sizes. They really look stretched. The sidewalls look to be ... oh I think 1/4" or more leaning inward when they reach the treads. You're leading with the wheel lip, not the tire protective lip. Looks like the tires are too small, IMHO.

Nice wheels. Don't like the tire stretch at all.

kevr6 · 03-02-2010, 08:08 PM

The stretched tires have a Euro look to me!

LateralG'z · 03-02-2010, 08:28 PM

looks good!

umm yeah, not happening. It's probably just the angle of those last pics but the car is pretty damn low already. Its @ about 1.35" now. This is the lowest this car can go and be driven as a DD IMO. At about ~1.6" lower this car becomes undrivable; stuck on speed bumps, tires slamming into wells on smallest of bumps, driveways are impossible, etc...I know, I tried. The stretched tire in the rear also makes the gap seem larger because the sidewall is at such an angle, not vertical. Take a look at these angles...
