    I would think it would be less difficult to find centerlocks with better fitment. Come to think of it, I don't think I have seen centerlocks with that flat of a face. That is IS300/Mazda/FWD type high offset. Seems an odd choice considering the rest of the car is obviously full-blown.

    Perhaps a method to the madness though. With that way wider front rear track and positive camber setup it the rear that looks to be a twitchy oversteering machine. OP what is this car setup for?

    I like the look of the exhaust but the muffler next to the driver might get old real quick.
