sounds simple, but it took me two weeks to get it done properly. you might wanna clean the studs and milling the edge on the face when you reverse mount the face.




lots of flame going on here, lol.

im not a big fan or super stretched tires either, that's why i went low offset instead of getting the 18x10 +18 xd9 with 225 tires on it although the latter could give me more clearance on the fenders.

In addition, i will dial in more camber and get my fenders rolled to fit the LM's properly, so the poke will be disappear. hellaflush, hellapoke, hellawhateveryounameit is not the sole purpose of this car, functional is also what im looking for.

Well, I can't please everyone. But after all the time, money, work, and passion I have put into it, Im happy, and that's what matters after all.

peace

I think I kind of agree with this guy from way back to summer of '09 on what is/isn't aggressive.....

i never knew there is a bottom line to define what is/isn't aggressive.

it's how aggressive the stance is, which it's the whole package of wheel width, offset, tire, camber setting, etc.. ain't it?

Is yours originally 18x9 +20? or +20 after you flipped em? my +35 are a low disc face which contacts the caliper. +20 from japan is a highdisc face which clears.

There has to be some sort of bottom line, or anyone could, for example, throw some crazy spacers on the OEM 17x8's to make them stick way out and then call that aggressive.
