Default mounted the +12 TE'S

Ok so finally mounted these but i think i may run into a few headaches. i went with the 255/285 tire setup and that seems to be not helping me much in the rear as my rear wheels stick out 3/4" on each side. the fronts stick out like almost the same from what you can see in the pics. im hoping with some neg camber i will be ok already have a fender roll. but i dont want it to be crazy camber where u go through tires its a dd so that wont be practical. thinking maybe the 275 might help but i just got the 285 its a brand new tire. anyways heres some pics until i get some nice ones on a nice day. also thinkin of what skirts and rear lip would go good. thinkin amuse sides with vsv1 rear. will be dropping it an inch with coilovers soon.
wheels are 9.5/10.5 +12

UPDATED PICS ON PAGE 3

I think a 30-series tire would have looked way better on such an aggressive offset, but nice wheel choice!

why would you ever get such an aggressive (and expensive) wheel setup without atleast having springs first?

the car is not going to look right until it is lower, and the camber is set.

Dont worry so much, once it is lowered and you dial in some neg. camber it will be fine. Ive thought about spacers for my rear, but may just dial out some camber though... My fronts are right about dead on with the 3mm spacers.

Nice wheels though

not sure if i am happy with them yet either..gonna drop the car and see what happens. if not they will be up for trade/sale for some less offset but some ppl say itll be fine. so. best way to describe it right now is the rear looks like a muscle car with wide *** tires. like a 5.0 mustang or something

it isn't worth selling them, unless someone was going to order them and will pay pretty close to what you did (doubtful). just get the camber set and lower the car and you will be amazed at the difference. you might have goofy camber to some, but not ricer camber.

and I would honestly downsize the width on the tires. would look better stretched and tucked IMO.
