ConSynX - you are cutting it close with those rears sticking out, any further you would look stupid...Chollo, Mexico style, etc... Just my opinion...
You guys really should consider shooting for the 10.5 rear rims.. You will not have any later regrets... You can really mount up some fat rear tires onto those 10.5 rims...
Revolt - love your SC, very sleek and nice color too...
SplatsSC300 - Your right everyone has different tastes that is for sure....Now in regards to your comement you should be careful using words like Chollo some may take offense....Well I am not a racist and I use words like Chollo'd out, riced out, Yo yo yo, for that excessive gold look, etc...These are terms I use to stereotype and describe a certain look of a car...Is it politically correct probably not but it does get my point and description across clearly... If people take it the wrong way too bad....
Just for the record I'm a tall white guy, redneck, hlll billy, wonder bread, budweiser drinking, football Sunday watching. grease monkey....So what?

I was able to just barely allign my rears with approx. a two inch drop...At 1 1/2 drop you should have no problem...Repacing rear bushings help too...

So what if you call your self a ^^^^^ would you like for me, a half black/latino male to call you that? Well i sure as hell don't like chollo or mexico style . Capish? So please instead of being a smart alec about it refrain from it.
BTW flushness and sunken wheels are if you do it right and fit it right it looks a lot hotter than with sunken battle ship wheels.

Agreed. back on topic please without the racist stereotype comments
Whether they are meant in fun or intentional... they are not needed on our forum.
