Default Finally installed the dangerous "Mooncakes"......!! (56K take a walk)
Waited so long for this until my stock wheels got mold and bubble on the tire...so time to get it lowered and let the road taste my "Mooncake"...

Thanks to those who helped me..especially Genki who have answered ALL of my questions....

Work Varianza T1s
20x9 +35
20x10 +45
Not happy with the rear as it doesnt stick out as much as the front...

sorry for the bad quality pics....




How stretch can you go?



Don't worry, it is not touching the ground

Nice Choice in rims

You can put 5mm hub centric spacer on the rear to push it out if you want more! Looks good!!!

Don't lower it any more. When the tire and even the rim disappears behind the top of the wheelwell, it's gone too far.

And be careful out there, or you'll be postin' about the moon ache from the curbing. There is zero margin for error on those left turns.
