His fitment on your car would be terrifying. 1000km a week with 1" of poke would not be fun

you'd be surprised how well our cars can handle a good set of wheels/offsets.

remember back two years ago when johnnyboy had the greatest fitment? it was 19x8.5 19x9.5 +22 all around. now people are running 19x9.5 19x10.5 +12 no problems! ...keep in mind this is all on stock fenders and no stupid looking widebody crap. its insane how much people are willing to push the envelope! i'm just glad i can be one of them and answer anyone's questions.

Looks so much better without the front plate, Josh. Looking forward to seeing your ride at BLOX.

I agree.. NEver know what the offset will fit inner the fender and it is better to do it ur own work for rolling the fender and doing some fender modification... I hate hear people said is the offset ok for this car.. DO it ur own.. No one gonna tell u the secret... I love flush then Hellasunk.. Keep in mind, the fenders on my ride are mess up because Im learning what the offset and stance will make fit on the ride... The car is always replaceable as fix and repaint the fender again..

Yeah I def agree. It's a learning process andnot everyone wants the same figment as everyone else. It's all personal taste and personal preference. If it's not right, then fix it.

fitment is def a learning process. however, i keep in mind that not everyone has loads of cash sitting around to keep buying new wheels, spacers, tires, and fender and paint repairs. i'm on the forum to provide help to members because of the other members that have helped me out.

working a crap retail job while in school has taken me forever to get my car sort of right since a mistake can take months to finally fix. on another note, can't wait to see how everything turns out with everyone's new projects.
