post some pic when its done!
I'm not really sure actually... I bought the wheels with those tires on them already and didn't ask the guy why. I'm not sure what tires I'll go with next, but I shouldn't have to worry about that until next year, there's a good 3000 miles left on the current set if I run them into the ground.

EDIT ~ The pics above were taken before I got home last night and slammed it.

Last night I dropped the car as low as it could go... it's now completely impractical to drive because it rubs the fender when I sit down in the car. If I brake, accelerate, or turn it rubs even harder...

It was too late when I got done to raise it back up so I thought I'd keep it and take pics in the morning...

And once again, excuse the shitty iPhone pics

If they rub......they don't fit

If you have to hack the wheel wells....do extreme rolls......they don;t fit

If you need anything bigger than 275's on 18X10.5....that do fit without mods...then OK have fun butchering your car........

Otherwise buy the right offset.....

definitely need to get out of this thread with that attitude.... the thread topic should tell you what you might be seeing in the contents of these pages.

Haha your naivete is adorable... I think you're one of the guys I was referring to when I made my very first post on these forums (in this thread) last week

Anyway... just picked up my car Sunday... then picked up a set of aggressively sized/offset wheels yesterday. Pics will have to wait until I pick up a set of coilovers though.

You missed the point....





Maybe you should rename it...

The "Wheels that don't Fit without Butchering your Car" Thread

Or the

" I need a Widebody to make them fit" thread

Fitment is relative, just like everything else in life. Maybe one day you'll realize that... or maybe you won't, kind of like most people on this planet.

It took me 30minutes to do what I needed to do to get my wheels to fit, it's not that big of a deal. and it looks a 100x better than it would with +50 offset that everyone else runs.

Each to his own, just because you don't get something doesn't mean you have to repeatedly hate. Stating your opinion once is enough, you don't have to do it every page. You never have to open this thread, so get out

What is funny is you guys crackin' on Dan like he doesn't know ****....


Aggressive is a subjective term; his version is different than yours - but he is by no means a hater - especially when it would take a serious 13B to even hope to keep up with him; so he actually NEEDS the rubber; unlike most.

lolz..........why there is always some people who doesn't understand what VIP look or Aggressive look and tries to act like they do!?!
as long as they roll the fender and made it fit.........THEY FIT!!!
Will you say some aggressive wheels with low offset DONT FIT a widebody car because it will not fit the stock fenders anymore????
there are many ways to put aggressive wheels, pull fenders, add flares, widebody, etc

and why you guys need to be cracking on us like we don't know ****!?!
if his vision is different, then leave this thread.
if there is a thread about how they like carbon fiber hoods, i will stay out of the thread because i dont like it, and I wouldn't go in and just talk **** about it.

I know Dan knows his ****, but there is no need to leave comments every day page about how these don't fit.

Point is - I'm at +28 on a 19 by 9.5 wheel... is that aggressive?

What about a -28 on a 22 by 10 wheel??? better or worse?

At some point people would say that it is overboard...that doesn't make 'em a hater.
