well, i can't modify my engine/transmission or i think i'll have import issues. so i guess i'm going to do the exterior and interior fun first...i've got some 17x9.5s -38 offset all around and about to start demolishing the fenders. waiting on the tires, but here's a test mount of one of the wheels.

i work 12 hour days so this might not go as quick as i'd like:/

That last photo may just be the angle but do you think they may look a little funny being that far out instead of that far out + the extra width ? not hating at all just curious thoughts,
Wonder how the wheel bearings will take to this, keep this updated, always interested in these sorts of builds.

best of luck I hope you are going widebody or going to be using a rubber band as a tyre and -7.9 degrees camber

those wheels will sit out 27mm further than my current set up (18x11+8 offset 295/35/18 tyres) and I have 45mm widebody guards

they will even sit out 6mm further than my old wheel set up (18x12+0 offset 295/35/18) which used to sit 20mm oustide my wide body guards with -2 degrees camber and stretched tyres
