LOL LOL LOL (henry you know I'm just teasing bro)

Car looks cool, but I think its a little too far out, and its probably the lowering (or lack thereof) that gives the impression. JTanoyo had some "insaneinthemembrane" sizes too, but his lowering etc was better matched (IMO)

Maybe a photoshop just to see how it could look slammed to really give the full effect.

I have to say though, I really wish people would post EVERYTHING neccesary to run this type of setup, as I tend to get 100 emails of people wanting to run 19x9 / 19x10 20offset on their cars, that have no idea of what it really takes (rolling / shaving / stretch / camber / etc etc), whenever a thread like this is posted! I think people could make a more informed decision if they had more to go on than basic specs and pics!

I know what you mean about the win kit. It is so damn low that you cant slam the car unless you just dont drive it. Thats the only bad thing about that kit, how low it sits making it near impossible to slam the car and actually drive it. The wheels look sick but we really need daytime pics

On a side note he could switch out the win sides and use the Lsportline sides. I did some measuring and the Lsportline sides sit almost perfectly in line with the front and rear of the win kit. The height is about dead on

Hmmm... same tires, same rim width and 4mm nuttier than me. You are officially out of your mind hehehehe. But it's cool, bro.

I suspected when I saw in a mag that an aristo with a stock fender put on 19x10 +10 in the back, I knew it could be done! But we really need better pics, I have feeling your wheels look too far out in front. The back seems fine though....
