I have these wheels on my car. Looks like a few members on here know what type of wheels they are. Of course Yuji because he was/is sponsored by the company. Or at least I would think since I saw his car in magazine.

Carbongs:
Let me tell you..... 245 may or may not work in front. I had Falken FK452 in 245/35/20 in front and it damaged my fender and tire. I re-molded the plastic lining and moderately rolled my fenders in front. I had to end up "stretching" some 225/35/20 in front. Good luck.

Were you also lowered? He is also lowering his car, and I told him it will probably scrape. But if it did that on stock ride height....

I saw what they look like, and they look dam good But this thread

Price for rolling fenders? Free with a baseball bat! Its not that hard... I have done it to all 4 of my cars that have been lowered and countless numbers of friends cars. It just takes a little time and patience.

hrmmm, i am just nervous. a few places have said that our cars have thin paint so the chaces of cracking the paint is high. i have had no previous experience so i didn't want to risk it.
