LMAO, I have no clue, it was most definitely SUPER aggressive, it was a completely rebarreled wheel, the rears were transferred to the front and the fronts got barrels that I think fit a BMW 7-series.

I love your progress so far then! I favor cars that have close to factory camber over demon camber anyday.... And you'll probably be able to run STRAIGHT tires instead of stretch too!!! (you're pretty much doing what i've been dreaming of doing for a while now).

I'm pretty sure they weren't, I didn't even bother to look up the brand.... I can find out for you if you'd like. I know for sure they were light as my O.E. wheels, and they didn't fit without wobble nuts

Not planning on lowering the car?

They look like would have cleared shaved fenders with the negative camber gained from lowering.

If you modify the fenders at stock height, once you lower it, the wheels will be sunken in...

Looking good man.. I dont understand how people will spend 3-6k on good wheels and then throw nankang tires on them though. Tires are critical to keeping the car on the road...

I know nankangs are horrible tires! I got them for free to test fittment. I'm not tring to spend hundreds of dollars on tires and find out the fittments sucks. Now that I got my size, I'm just asking OP what he thinks of hankooks!
