Default ~Try out Low Offset~

LOL, I borrowed my buddy rims off on his BMW 5 series.. They been sitting in garage for 2 months and I decided to test fit on my car... The rims are universal lug patterns and they are 18x9 20et all around... I wish the rear is 10 inch wider but I just want to test fit the low offset rims... I swapped the tires 215-40-18 and 225-40-18 and they used to be 245-40-18 and 255-40-18.. Then I put them on my car and the front driver side fender need a little more roll and I will put 5mm spacers in rear before roll the fender.. I went to test drive and the driver side is a little bit harsh when I made a turn and hit the bump.. But it is all good.. Maybe in the future I will get 20 et in front and 15et in rear.. Remember my car is non air suspension Test is great opportunity to try and see how the result go.. Here are the pics

I dont care the lip has some damage.. They are flexible and Im not the type of guy want the car make 100% perfect condition.. IT is a hobby car and there is nothing can make perfect...
