The mayas look better because the pics were during the day. I think some of those guys will change their tune after i take some better pics. Everyone has there opinion but the ssr's look much better than the mayas did in person. Just going to use the stock camber adjustment.

If i had 500 horses like you used to have they wouldn't be stretched. Since my car is somewhat low and super slow, stretched tires were needed to fit the 4.5 lips. No one does good fenderwork around here.

Had to order a new tire yesterday because the tire guy decided to rip my bead while installing a 235 on a 9.5. No alignment until next week.

I like the Mayas because they look like how the oem 17 's should have looked from the factory. A thick five spoke always looks good on a GS in my book.

I definitely love performance, but I'm not at a point financially where I can dump the kinda money into the car to do it right. So, I'm just going in a different direction.

car looks good. Do you have any quarter work out back? I want to run a similar setup outback and was wondering if you clear or does it require shaving.
