completely missed the point ... look how high your car sits ... im talking about being LOW and flush


The lower your car sits ... you will destroy your fenders because your tires are to huge and then your a sunken ship too

+38 +43 is basically "flush for a stock height Gs = What i had ... = newbie choice when wanting new wheels ... VIP flushness = No where near that +17 +17 ish offsets on a gs on air ...

Flushness equals the wheel appearing to just flow into the fender as one.

uh... I am no VIP expert. Ive been payin attention..... 909ls, i think you did miss the point.... your definition of flush isnt VIP flush. and from what i've seen, "ballin & v8 aristo" seem to know their ***** when it comes to VIP. just look at the way their wheel/tire "fit" in relation to the stance of the car..... very hard to achieve. it's why there are so many discussions on that subject alone. its all good though... if thats how you roll.... mo power 2 u
