Thinking the same thing.

I really like those wheels and I actually want a set, but they will probably be 18X9. I like to run a tire that'll protect my wheels and camber that won't kill my expensive tires.

I'm not getting this whole low offset and stretched tire fad all of the sudden with the EVO crowd.

When the car is on the track it will be on a race tire anyways...so who cares how i drive around on the street

I understand everyone has thier own personal tastes man. Not hating, just not understanding thats all. This site would be really boring if everyone posted the same stuff.

Your car looks good, but not something I'd do to my own.

I think it looks sick. Looks like you need to add some camber in the rear for sure.
