the rear sticks out a little too much for my taste, unless you lower the car more, which I don't think you can... your old stance was pretty good too though : )

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaa.


Actually, it is crazy aggressive. I will drive around like this for a while and see how it goes. I may bring it back in with a 15 mm extended lug spacer.

Yeah I saw ed's 20mm photo at the shop and was like LOL no way. But I got home and decided to try it on out of boredom.

Actually my real plan was to try the 20 mm spacers on one side and the 15 mm spacers on the other side to see which I liked better. (Just for esthetic evaluation, not to drive around) But the 15 mm spacers don't cover enought of the stock studs to be able to mount the Volks on the Kics spacers.


Nexx: It's a good thing, for me at least, that your 10 mm kit wasn't complete! It wouldn't have fit with my wheels! So all's well that ends well.

i don't think my offsets are aggressive enough, but they'll be okay enough for what i'm looking for. i could always add the spacers in later i guess

I just tried a quick photoshop of my favourite picture of the bunch to try and optimize the lighting on the backgound, midground, and foreground. I think with a little more effort it would turn out really cool.
