    I agree...I wish more people thought out their ride height related to their wheel size related to their wheel width related to the tire size related to the offsets, etc. It all has to work together. Even ugly wheel stanced right look sooo much better. I would almost venture to say a correctly stanced ugly wheel looks better then a non thought out nicer wheel.

    Ah, excellent thread.

    17x9 on 215/45, 17x10.5 on 225/45

    I don't even remember the offsets anymore

    These pics were before I got the front stanced properly.

    I tuck 40 series up front now

    see now to me. that stance is pointless. i dont get why people want to be slammed that much. i understand its ment to make it look good/agressive/sexy, what have you. but a car is meant to be DRIVEN, not sit there and look pretty and always having to wory about fucking bumps and shit. just makes no sense to me.

    Well man, what you like is pointless to him. He likes to rock stretched tires and whatever, you don't. Sure it's the internet and your opinion is your own but honestly, give your opnion and when he doesn't agree with it, leave. It's that easy. No need to justify to him why you don't agree with him....waste of keystrokes.

    I like both schools of though. I love the stretched tire look, but I like to be able to drive my car. That's why fitment is king......like the thread was named.

    na man. i mean i can understand the reason the thread was named the way it was. but most people are going to automatically associate with slammed cars and what have you. i have nothing against his opinion. just stating my view point on it.

    being slammed does not always equal proper fitment.

    damn... i need to go lower and get a smaller tire so i can run some 5mm's



    this sad little setup is

    18x8 all around
    +38 -25mm = +13 F
    +26 -15mm = +11 R

    all on 235/45/18s

    ideally i should have some 215/40s but this'll suffice i suppose until i get ballin

    i agree. even for show VERY impractical. but thats the lifestyle i guess.
    but thus far Logan is the only one the contributed a real example of fitment. when cars a bagged to negative camber hell it kinda defeats the purpose of having proper fitment. so far the white y33 is the only one that seems close to fitted properly at ride height.

    I have some... I can't run any bigger without extended studs. And I don't need them in the back anymore, I raised it up. What I really need is a damn camber kit.
