coilovers or a drop will sink those wheels way in and you'll need spacers to resolve it, yikes

always drop the car before getting wheels imo

Nice color combo, but offsets are a little on the weak side.

You need either some spacers or just a new set of wheels all together. Your offset is way too high. Not really feeling those wheels though.

i think dropping you car before you get wheels is just dumb...you'd leave less wheel/tire options

Everyone has their own opinion, its not sac relig.
With offsets of 38 front and 44 rear, I plan to run 10 / 20mm spacers respectively.

I just wanted to fit them on the car.
Thanks for the comments.

Rule of thumb is to go with offsets ~20, no more than 30 and definitely not 40.

But I suppose if you like it...

Any garage is better than no garage, especially with the ice storms we just had and the fact that it's free.
