LOL just kidding. (those were just a set of 5" outer lips we zip tied to the stock wheel for fun and get WTF responses from people on facebook LOLOL)

but i have a new set of wheels on the way:



these are gonna be rebarreled to 21x10.5 non staggered, mid 30's offsets, with hankook 245/35/21s. not sure what i'm going to do for finish yet... any suggestions?

i had 22x10 +40 and had no issues, but i'm aiming for something a bit more aggressive this time

not sure on these offset moz dont have them stamped on the wheel being that they are 2 piece. but i know the 9's will fit its they 10.5 with 5+ inch lips in rear that i might have massage to get to fit. any suggestion??? however i did source some longer lug bolts which are almost impossible to find in 14x 1.5
