Thumbs up Volk GT-7s on my Roadster -Finally

I had to wait a long time to get these and then I just found time to post pics. Let me know what you think.

The fronts are 8.5x19 +23 offset and the rears are 10.5x19 +32? offset.

I noticed the understeer at first and then I replaced my rear differential fluid with Royal Purple's Max Gear oil and it doesn't really seem all that noticeable anymore. Can anyone explain the physics of why the rear diff. oil would change the perception of understeer?

What exactly are you laughing at? Is it the difference in wheel widths? Let me know if you have some legitimate reason or if you are just flaming to be a dick.

HaNkYs_Z,

Sorry man. I apologize. I usually see that thing used to flame someone else's comments. OK, no more coffee for me.

I was probably freaked out that there might be something wrong with my setup cause I'm still learning about all this stuff.

Thanks for the compliment.

No problem JasZ, just make sure you read clearly and fully understand before you reply on people's comments. and yes NO MORE COFFEE for you. There is nothing wrong with your setup, so dont worry too much, I think your setup are perfect, especially those offsets that you picked, very nice. Money well spent.
