Default test fitted again to get these pix for you guys!!!!

the front will be lowered some more once i get the new tires mounted. also it appears the rear pokes out a tad i wonder how that will work out with my 285/30 lol. im getting a fender shave tomorrow and plus i think a slight fender pull is needed in the rear what you guys think?? i think these pix dont do the car any justice!! but please excuse the durty *** car!! we have had crappy weather here in houston lately!!

i forgot to mention i dont think the seller who sold me the wheels was aware that there was a very SLIGHT bend in the front rims in the left upper corner. and some blemishes on the lip!!!

I like it, that'll look amazing once you get the stance dialed in and the car cleaned up!

Yeah, the front has got to go way down! I've been waiting for these pics, the car is coming together great! I wonder how much work it'll take to get a 285 on the back? The wheels look pretty aggressive for that wide a tire; but what do I know, I'm no expert on that kind of fitment.

now the question would be if that is true i might go a tad lower. but once i put the 285 and possibly correct the camber soon will it still poke out ??

the rear rim is only a 29 offset. im not not expert either but when i compared the 275 to the 285 it really want much of a differ in width!! but it might make the biggest differ once its all mounted on the car lol

I would definately lower it more . your on twenties so there is plenty of clearance under the car to go alot lower.
