Default Opinions on stance!!

hey guys, im going to get my rims put on, on tuesday!
and i was wondering if it'd look weird if the front rim/tire stuck out like a cm? and not flush

does anyone have a picture if anyone does have a rim poking out a bit?

i say it looks aggressive but id like other peoples opinions! ill post pics when there on

IMHO...I think flushed always looks better esp with our cars but if you like the aggressive look, go for it bro!

Flush is as far as I would go - if it sticks out past that, it will look tacky. Especially if its only the fronts.

When they make camber kits for our cars you could run like -4 camber LOL maybe that'll make it look good with the aggressive stance.

I'm running 8.5 and 28mm offset in front dropped on eibach springs, and it's flush..

your 30mm offset should be fine..

8.5 width with + 30 its perfect depending on your drop. the lower you go the more perfect it will be. just make sure that when you drop the car it sits low. get teins or coil overs
