my time in iraq is getting really short. less then 30 days now.
I'm coming back to LA for 20 days in October. I hope I get the chance to meet some of you guys (and lots of girls).
Someone has to teach me how to drive! (seriously)
I'm going from driving automatic HMMMV's to driving a TT Z.

LOL, I am not trying to stretch tires, or roll my fenders, the mild offset is good for me, and it doesn't bother me that some people may not like it.

Remember what I told you about rolling fenders-- it isn't the big deal it's made out to be. If you have to do so to fit the wheels, you'll be ok.

We will plan on it. Set a date that is good for you, and we will plan a get together, as far as the girls, you will have to do that yourself.

I know, but I just plan on buying wheels that were made to fit my car without any mods.

Shawn rolling fenders is super easy. I rented that roller one weekend and did like 4-5 cars. Takes like a hr per car with impact wrench.

Some people think that offset is "weak", but my car rubbed not rolled with a 275 on the rear. You can roll the fenders and do a 5mm spacer to bring the offsets into the teens. The only other alternative is a +12 that will rub unless you do retarded looking camber / stretch.
