Yeah the offset is a bit high in the front to insure fitment with a big brake kit.
Yes I drive the car that low.....I got the scrapes on the bottom of the bumper and exhaust to proveit!!

D,
when you get tired of dragging your body kit and wanna get real, gimme a call and you can run my dubs for a while. the only catch is you gotta send me replacement rims until I get some new ones. I may consider those SL's or maybe the GTC's . They look good on the car. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe time for new rims? Anyone wanna get 20" Equips?

no, actually the higher the offset the more inset the wheels are, and less likely it will clear bbk

somehow from the pics i got a feeling that the wheels don't come out to the fender enough
