    Talking 17x10.5 test fit. Win maybe?

    Win!....I think...

    Pulling my fenders tomorrow.

    The fender is sitting on the tire

    Anyways, 17x10.5 HRE 505 lolo offsets.

    It's gonna be worked

    Yea, it's dirty, but thats not the point. Everything is getting colormatched once uncle sam gives me my tax return...










    And the money shot...I got some work ahead of me

    Those don't even kind of fit your car, good luck with the fender pulling, but I'm not sure that'll even be enough.

    I still think your car looked the best with the RCs.

    Have faith you should

    The RC's were ok. But I love these wheels.

    But in the end... I built this car for ME.

    Damn.. I really didn't know my fenders were rolled that much. Is your car just off the jack in the picture? Because you're going to need more camber than that. Looks sick though.

    These pics are fresh off the jack.

    I'm going to have to with a smaller tire. 225/40 or 235/40 think...

    I'm saving up for nex's as well and they should be within my reach within the month.

    Camber that negative doesn't look good to me.

    And wheel sticking out of the wheel well=ricer...why would you want your wheel sticking out past your fender? looks trashy

    ex:




    And the design of the wheels themselves are...ok at best...

    Hey retard, learn to read. Pretty much throughout the entire thread, multiple people converse about how the car is fresh off jack stands and how the fenders will be pulled/rolled within a few days.

    Next time read before you make a dumbass of yourself.

    Well the camber probably isn't much more than most other here, but wider wheels make it appear like more than it really is. But other than that, I think most will disagree with you about the wheel design

    You could just say it's uncool and move on... My buddy was facepalming the whole time I was test fitting these, he HATES stance.

    But whatever, your opinion

    Well the camber probably isn't much more than most other here, but wider wheels make it appear like more than it really is. But other than that, I think most will disagree with you about the wheel design
    Quick question, 225/40 or 235/40? I'm trying to get the most poke and least fender pullage possible..

    Love the fitment bro - that pull won't be as bad as you think.

    Gotta love it!
    Hope not! It should be hot for the sff meet

    damn man lookin good! 235's would look alot better imo.. now i gotta get some wider lips to keep up with you haha.
    Your car is faster so you still win lol



    On another note, I got my tax return today so paint is coming soon

    I think 235/40 would be good, and it would be closer to the outside diameter of the front tires, instead of the rears being so much taller like they are now... 225/40/17's aren't really produced by anyone other than Nitto so the next step down would be 225/45.

    FWIW, I put on the wheels again, tightened all 5 lugs, and compressed the suspension, and there is much more camber now.

    I should be able to stay with the 245's out back.

    Changing the 215/40's up front to 215/50's. I have a pair laying around the shop, so might as well try them...
