First, this thread needs to be redirected; we don't need pics of cars just because they have rims. Second, the thread needs to be renamed to "my wheels don't fit at a proper ride height without fender-chasis modification/wheel camber/tire stretching club."

So..if the wheels fit without fender-chasis modifications/wheel camber/tire stretching, then they do not belong in this thread. :naughty:

No more of this:

Definitely none of this:

The shine car works if they only had to have half the wheels fit properly. Until there's a 10-15mm spacer in the front, it still only half belongs.

The second car looks like if it were a little lower the wheels would fit really well.

The last car, should look into Boris' group buy for spacers.

meh, our wheel wells are quite big, if I run out of room on the inside then I'll go out to the edge...

rolled fenders dent easy, and stretched tires...not going there

Not hating, just don't see any practicality in it... maybe if mine was a show car or was driven rarely...

+1 except for the last line.

I'm not being a hater, but as I've stated in the past...I just don't get the "stretched tire look". It looks kinda like how the lowrider 64 Chevy guys mount their tires...not feelin' it.

^ Yeah me too... I don't even know why I did it. It is addicting though.. you want to get closer and closer to the fender all the time.

Jeez when did Boris get all soft on us?
Projectsupra FTW.
I just a few more weeks and I will decimate.
Rims are apart, centeres were refinished.
New 3 piece assembly bolts are coming.
Yes!

This is something that I will NEVER understand.
I assume it is strictly because a deeper rim lip looks better/more aggressive, plus it gives the illusion of a wider wheelbase.

Hmm, maybe I'll stretch the heck out of my tires, and run a 18x15" rear rim and 18x13" fronts. Should give me a 7" rear lip and 5" front. So JDM! :naughty:
