the rest of the car looks great but i honestly think you missed the boat on fitment.

is the fitment done for the foreseeable future or?

It's a $1000 car. I got the wheels for $300. I made them fit.

The 1LS doesn't have much adjustment for front camber, so offset range on the front limits you to 15-25mm range. I'm at a +10 on a 9.5. Rather aggressive, but for the money I've invested, not to concerned.

When I have absolutely nothing to spend my money on, I'm hunting down a set of AME Shallen LX. But for now, she's a crazy looking daily driver.

hmm, throw either an upper arm or camber adapter from nagisa.

idk about the upper arm, but the camber adapter should fit fine on a 1LS, especially so if you're running 2LS lower ball joints.

Definitely have to look into the camber adapter if its affordable. Thanks!

Why do the 1LS guys run a 2LS lower ball joint? What is the advantage?

I appreciate the concern! That was just a test fit. Old 225/35/19 I had laying around.

Check out my new pics, tires are correct.

I install wheels and tires at my job. I'm also the main guy in town to go to for tire stretching. Oh yes, I have Cheetah! My claim to fame is a 215 on a 10.5
