Hey Shane! Love the car! Your style is crazy to the max! I Love the look, and want to do something not as crazy, but pretty mild compared to yours. I like the fitment of the front and looking to have about the same on the front and back of mine. Whats the offset of the front wheel and size? I have 19x9 +20 and 10 25off I want to unbolt and flip the dish.. would the neg offset be to crazy? or would it fit about what you have in the front? Keep in mind i am going for a vip look.. but its on a drift car.

Wheels are coming, just not here yet from japan.. just looking at what i may have to do

the specs u have is nice and flush with shave rear and a rolled front. if you want to run a more aggressive stretch tire go pop on some spacers (something around 10 mil) and get some smaller tires (dont know how it will perform on the track.)

Looks good but with all the camber it looks like your running a fatty tire in the rear of the 2nd pic.

I never noticed it b4 but your car is raked when dumped.

drive height is ugly with that fitment. about 2.5 inch higher in the front and 2 inch higher in the rear.

i am now searching for some new wheels for a different look. something with less camber. more flush
