Yea I am going to. The difference in wheels made me notice that the car is un-proportionally low, much lower in the front. I mean I knew it was but changing the wheels made it obvious. It was cutting it close up front on the stock wheels with how low it was.

slam it and throw a lot of camber at it. That wont ever look good unless you slam it.

The rears are going to rub no matter how much neg camber you use. Any pics from the back.

you need my kit ...its $73 shipped with paypal fees you might as well do it

here is what needs to happen.

1. order my wide fender kit and since your gonna be running it on high or at least middle setting i can change a few pieces to help you fit the fronts even better.

2. leave it low

3. run 3.5 degrees front camber , 2.5 rear camber ( 0 toe all around...toe is what really kills your tires anyway) and i run that camber on my evos and drive them all the time and don't wear tires bad.

4. i can't tell if you already did it or not but be careful rolling your rear quarters...if you angle the wheel too hard your gonna start to flare the edge of the wheel well and thats gonna start to cause a dent like 3-5 inches above the lip which looks like crap so keep the wheel as straight as possible up and down

5. obviously remove your front fender liners

6. unbolt the rear bumper 10mm and cut that area out and move the bolt mount for the bumper to rear quarter back some

7. torch type heat on the rear quarter and keep the wheel on it short periods so you don't melt the urethane roller

8. repaint the quarters and enjoy!

I think he bought the wrong offset by mistake, and since they were mounted, he couldnt return them. No one in their right mind buys such a stupid offset thinking that they're going to "do body work"

Dude, you're on a forum where people paint their stock wheels lime green and yellow with walmart spray paint and then they get 5 pages of posts that say "sick!" "looks great man " "can't wait to paint my wheels an ugly color! keep up the good work!" I'm not surprised people think this looks good.. Im sure the same people that like this think that this car is also cool..
