but i guess thats just me.................. Hella' Functional > Hella' Flush
you would love john muellers functional wheel size talk. dude opened my eyes!

Ha ha, I love all the comments. You guys are too funny. (Facebook 'Like' button had me going )

To answer a few questions I saw.
Does it rub? Yes, the rear does over big bumps or into driveways. But the rear is not pulled any.

What was done to fenders? Rears are cut flush. Front are stock. -2.5° camber all around. More camber might help, but I'd rather not do that.

What coilovers? JRZ RS PRO's with 18kg Fronts and 16kg Rears for the springs.

Why a stretched tire? Because there is no way you are going to fit +18 under the stock body with out going widebody or flaired rears.

I have some 265 cup tires on another set of Volk CE28N's, 18x9.5 +28 that I could always toss on if I want to get my fat tire fix. Who says you have to own only one set of wheels?

Thanks for all the comments, good or bad.

Yeah man some Rota's in some weak offset would look far better

Love the wheels, love the offset, love the stance, love the stretch, keep it going.
