i completely agree with this guy and I've got a lowrider lol but yea man ive already tried it with my 96 Ls, only with the rear right wheel though it was sticking out far cause id left my spacer on and just threw on the adapter and rim without he knock off while it was on the jack just cause i was curious and had been thinking about doing it for a long time. But yea the calipers in the rear shouldnt bother you too much but im thinkin that the ones in the front are going to give you a bit of trouble. i'm not sayin it cant be done but i'm certain that the wheels wont be flush what so ever.

It must take at least 8 hours to clean one wheel.

Something like this, possibly in a staggered fitment. 18x8/10 or 18x9/10

French Mafia...now if you could get thick white walls, they would be 1970's Southside Chicago or Harlem NYC.
