yeah, there are 2 settings on the eastwood fender roller. I used the first setting to roll mine and the second one to pull them. I'm only running a 10.5 inch wheel with a 30mm offset, but i'm also using BFG 295/35/18's, not stretched tires

My unpopular opinion is
Left = perfect fit
Right = looks like a mexican lowrider.
The wheels look great, but every since our spanish brothern found out how to make a car bowlegged I have hated the look every since. tires that don't fit the wheel, wheels that protrude the fenders........ Just not for me.
Not my personal taste, but I'm not driving it.

My car is more like a 4x4 than a lowrider in the pics above. I just did a ghetto torch job on the springs to bring it down about 2 inches. I plan on going lower once my coilovers arrive but torching the spings make for weaker spring rates so I lowered just enough where I feel the car is safe from being too bouncy and bottoming out....as predicted, the wheels camber in ever so slightly so that the wheels themselves are perfectly fluch with the edge of the fenders.
As far as the mexican lowrider goes, i think that's more like 13x5J 99999million spoke gold wheels with negative offset....and it's for looks....not my thing at all. Then again, If I was only worried about looks, I would have ran over fenders and did some really crazy wheels. My setup is the best balance of performance/looks I could come up with with minimal work.
new pics after slight lowering....lot better..

Lowering the car get's the wheels out of view more, since they were standing out with so much space from the body. The new look makes it much better. 
I just don't like the massive protrusion of wheels. Bowlegged was never good after the craze in the early 90's with nissan sentra's and pick up trucks.
Now that it is lowered it doesn't make the wheels stand out as much (and I literally mean out) since the camber is bringing the top of the wheel in quite a bit back to the body.

Wheels, stance, and then fitment

Its nice to see someone thinks like i do.
Exactly what i was thinking when i saw them mounted. All that was missing was the other 196 gold wire spokes. Personally, i think the wheels would look great if you had fenders to match and a better fitting tire, i mean, theyre the same wheels i have myself but i dont even want to start going off on what i think about mismatched offsets.
first, you DONT have a widebody car
second, you DONT have an aggressive fender profile. i mean, sure you pulled them, but you might as well have slapped on some chrome fenders from a gmc safari
And that tire profile just makes it look like you couldnt afford right sized tires. i mean wide wheel = wide tire right? i thought that was the point.
Im sorry i dont share the same opinions as 90% of the people on this board trying to get so much lip that you have to run enough negative camber that you roll on the inside lip of the wheel.
i mean sure, to each his own, but i sure am glad those arent mine.

It makes me want to tell you that your mismatched color, poorly sized wheels with shadow offsets on your car look like crap....but, then again, this is more mature...

Hmmm, yes, you should really take your own advice...
