Both in looks (subjective I know) and function. The pull will look nasty and I just don't see it being functional without bags. And by functional I mean without doing regular damage to the car.
But we shall see

Fronts pretty much done. No rubbing issues aside from the pinchwelds on the inside tire at turns. Going back on the alignment rack tomorrow to toy around with camber and height just a little before I hammer out the issue (seewhatIdidthere). lol
Should be starting on the rears tomorrow to... oh boy

not my cup of tea but super excited to see what the finish product looks like. I endorse any original thought!
on a side not any one ever have any creaking noise in their suspension? only at really slow speed and only in the front end. I only put the new wheels on and since then its been creaking. sound like the springs are not siting right but i didnt touch the springs.

"no rubbing" its completely clear of the fender. I even raised it a tad today so it sits just a wee bit higher than in that picture.
this is the aggressive wheel fitment thread. The stretched tire isn't for "looks", its to give extra room under the fender, too much tire: not enough clearance. If you don't understand this aspect you shouldn't be in this thread. Not trying to be a dick but it just bothers me when people are ignorant.

I also am in no way knocking the dedication and skill you have displayed to pull this off, its just not my taste. In my opinion it doesnt look good and won't perform well, so I dont see the point. But if you like it, then who cares?

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
I adore Danny's initiative on this one. Why bother commenting negative stuffs when he's not even done with his project? Let him finish it first and we'll see how it goes...
Go for it Danny!!!
