Stance looks good, but wheel fitment needs a little adjustment

That thing is dumped!

It's funny how lowering a car can make a decent wheel fitment
look pretty lost in the fenders. Would look crazy with less + offset!

Off topic (sort of):
I hear it all the time "I want wheels for my car, but I don't want them
to rub when I lower the car later." The suspension travels through the
same path at stock height or if it's lowered. Most of the time, if the
tires don't rub at stock height, they won't rub when the car is slammed.

thanks guys! honestly, if i had better fitment on the wheels i wouldnt be able to go this low. the SF-1's aren't damper adjustable, so every time i hit a bump i'd be banging the fender with the wheel. eventually i'll get better wheels, but for now i like my eurolines even with the whack offsets =]

JIC currently makes the FLT-A2 coilovers for LS specific applications but pRaHjeC specially imported a set of older (slightly different valving and springrates iirc) JIC SF-1s for his car.
