Waiting on flame posts on my slippers lol...

I have a little dilemma that's troubling me though. Without a doubt I love my wheels and the more I look at them, the more they grow on me, however I feel the rear wheels are sticking out just a tad too much.. So much so that I believe they are illegal here in Queensland Australia as they stick out (protrude) further than the body of the vehicle. They also don't look 100% imo, fronts are perfect though.

I was wandering what your opinions are regarding what I can do to have the rim/tyre line up better with the guard???

See pictures 1, 3 and 10 for good detail.

Rims look great, but like myladyzy33 said, it does need lowering.

Looks great. Good choice of tire sizes and wheel widths.

Just lower it. It'll look a lot better, and you will have more negative camber so the top of the wheel will tuck in more.

those look like Mercedes AMG double spokes! They are decent, car needs to be lowered imo. Looks good though.

Nice looking car BTW, I bet if you lower your car about an inch its gonna throw your camber out a bit and pitch your rear tires in at the top and I bet they will tuck nicely. I didn't think mine would fit but after the drop it worked out fine.

I guess if you drive your car as a daily driver I guess that wouldn't be such a great idea then.

Cheers!

Edit: hey try stretching some 265's on those rears that might get you legal!!

Always loved the P-Spokes. Those and the killer Forged Mag. They look really sharp without screaming "I'm After-Market". I wish more people got them. Great choice.

Nice wheels! Always like that style of Volks.

Be nice to your wheels. If you're still on stock brake pads, switch to a low dust pad. You'll be very happy cuz you're new wheels will stay clean MUCH longer. I run Hawk pads and don't need to wash my wheels for weeks
