you can run 10.5 in the front on any car, you just have to make it fit

I love those hellaflush look, what I think is stupid is you can't drive those cars at that stance. It only looks that cool sitting, like a statue.

Is it just me or does the deeper concave wheel in the front look a bit odd

Nice wheels, but that car looks absolutely retarded with the (probably unused) bike rack and -ve rear camber.

^ Agreed.

I really like what Honda has done with the Accord Coupe, but 20" wheels.......seriously.
