I think the wheels look great, but those severely stretched tires are killing it. They don't look right. Put at least a 265 in the rear and a 235 up front. Looks way better and classier.

u have to put into consideration of why he went stretch... maybe if he went with 265/275 on his offset his fender is goin to eat his tires.. i only have 9.5 in the rears but with my +25 offset.. had to run 245.. and that barely cleared my fenders.

25mm offset is too aggressive for these cars. It looks ridiculous that aggressive of an offset and tires that are barely sufficient for a 10 speed. You compromise performance, ride, and looks going that skinny. It is senseless unless you have an 8" wide wheel
