Default flush?

just add A, 1, uno, spacer to my rear left wheel hahah. wonder why its just one? because it took me almost 8hrs(includin breaks and test drives) to make it where it doesnt rub anymore. it was rubbing so much at one point i was going to quit and sell the spacers. but i push forward and finish what i started. and the outcome is worth it! cooooomments welcomed

4got to add: tires are not stretched due to ordering the wrong tires..

(camera phone)heres the pics! im flush right? 45degree


flat against the car


no spacer 45degree


no spacer flat against car

LOL Fire meaning looks great

I'm running the same size tires in the rear...did you do some camber. You obviously trimmed the lip of the fenders.

What spacer size did you use? I'm probably going to have to do that size do to our similar tires.

What springs you running also? looks low for springs

holla at me

You can call that stock fender/no modification flush. I've seen so many photos of VIP 2GS now that my perspective of flush has radically changed.
