@ Angel - that rear is NASTTYYYY

imo, just a lil' more tweaking n' you'll be well fitted

side note - it might be the way the light is hitting the front fender but do you have a slight pull on the fronts?? o_0?

I love the way the rear looks.
The front fenders are untouched but will need some loving. The wheels i have on the front will be changed on the 12 (new ones arriving that day) they wont work on my car because they are hitting my sway bar. You know 20b swap, relocate this , move that. Long story short, im staying with the 245's on front but they will now be on a 19x9.5 +12 .
Fyi... the rears are 265's.

Oh yeah dude, i know all about 20b swaps pfft...relocate this, fab that....

...i laugh but inside i'm crying a little...


anyways - that's interesting that you can't go up in size on the tire. What brand tire are you gonna be using btw? Just wondering because if you can't really up the size of the tire in specs you may be able to cheat with a 'bigger looking' brand like conti's or azeni's.

I hope you space out the 9.5's in front!

Unfortunately when I had my 9.5/10.5 +15, it isn't flush in front

I wish mine was just rubbing. I could have left it like that.

only thing im theoretically concerned about is the tire size.

a 245 on the 10, which is less of a stretch than on an 11, might hit the fender.
my tires already clip the top of the front fender on tight turns.

a 225 on a 10 just seems a bit sketchy to me, but it'd be fine in terms of angle of tire at the fender point

Something German ;-) Because More Winning

Tell him yourself but don't come talking without the cash, many people want them but have empty pockets. He aint asking for much but he aint giving them away either. The rubber is still good too. When are you getting yourself some new wheels? Legit ones. How is your 8? Izzy friend just picked up a BB '07, better watch out!!!

It's this horrible time of the year where you have to put your car away while everyone in the warmer states gets to stay outside and play.

And depending on where you live, the government throws salt all over the road so your car will rust out faster than normal.
