You would really need to see the car in person. It is lowered on tein basics for now but I don't like them so I'm going to buy some BC racing coilovers and post more pics then.
Is this sort of aggressive- 18x9.5+30 with 255/35/18 on all four corners. My photo taking skills are not that good and as you can see the sun was no help.

Well I just found out that my current wheels also come in a +15 offset, which has me extremely curious..........
They also have a +38, but thats not enough. I'm wondering if the +15 would fit with a set of BN Sports front fenders and a roll/pull in the rear? Still would have the 245/40s

I have no corners because I'm shaving them off this bumper, I do sort of like the I don't care how this looks mentality of not having them though, hahaha.
Thanks for the compliments man.

Stretched tires is NOT new. I knew guys in the 80s doing it with stupid offset on anything from caddys to mini trucks to import cars. BTW I said hellaflush and the like inspired and never said they started the trend. They like the other sites are just continuing with a style that came before them.

I guess no one is saying it it new. I just wanted to mention it has been around for a long time and it is a style thing vs. performance. Not sure why I feel the need to keep repeating that though It is all good with me what people want to do with their rides as long as they are not posers frontin like their car is something it is not.

I hate the stretched look because I think it looks like ***. Plain and simple.
Forget the performance side of things, just asthetically it's not pleasing.
That's probably why I try to stay out of this thread but when I saw Chicken's posts, I figured I'd try and lend a hand.
Carry on...

Anyone can hate anything, when it comes to looks and aesthetics. Thats a more respectable reason to dislike it than anything else. My comment was under the assumption that a 265 on a 10.5 was too much a stretch and was just for looks. But damn, trex's car, c4125on's car, JIC drift rx8, countless show cars, countless drift cars, they must all look like **** to you!
alright, enough babbling, too many posts in the same thread on one page for me lol

Don't count too heavily on the BN sports. I've talked to them about ordering the fenders and US stock is out and JP stock is unknown and unreliable they say. They've also haulted all shipments for now, times are tough at BN sports. Good choice though, same fender I will be going with. Hopefully they are wider than just +10mm, that really doesn't sound right for BN. If thats the case OE fenders may be a better bet. Biggest downside is that if you pull them out enough, they get pretty sensative to dents. I have a big ding in one of mine from a shopping cart :'(

I laughed at your comment because it was so baseless and well.. umm... full of ****.
