haha.... is that all? cuz "it tucks in"


that's just cuz i have all the air out and it cambers like hell when i drop it.

when i bring it up to ride height it sits pretty flush... not as flush as some of the agressive guys out here.... but certainly not tucked in

18x8 front with a +25 offset and 18x9 rear with a +33 offset.... like i said... not the most agressive... but i needed something that I could be sure wont hit the fender for my air susp

in fact i had to cut/trim the rear fenders (on a 265 tire) because it was rubbing.

gosh... some of you guys are just soooooo quick, so quick i tell ya


BTW... wuddup nnnnniiicckkkkk !!

dont get me wrong, the car does look good- but the wheel fittment does to be on the weak side. I have seen a few soarers from japan with air that sit much more flush, so I know its do-able.

those JDM cars on air usually have pulled fenders... a very subtle and not noticeable mod that will give you another 10mm easy.. but still... when the car goes down it'll camber in giving it the "sunken effect"

which is the other factor... the more camber you run the lower the offsets you can run as well...

Now that my air susp is all done... I DO have a few mm to play with and can perhaps go with a slightly lower offset

what size and offset do you have on your car? I'll tell you exactly how much more my rims stick in or stick out from your setup

That offset is . I'd like to see pics from the rear showing how far the rims stick out. Love the wheels, hate the offset.
