I'm running 15x8 deep dish centerlock epsilons with 4.75 backspace. this is a proof that deep dish rims will your car stand out. enjoy

Nice videos. Mel, did you add flares to your 3 or just massage the stock metal on the fenders?

LOl. Ran over a tire on my way home from 7stock. didnt notice the crack in my snow plow airdam (below the passenger side turn signal lights) and paint until a few days ago. one reason why I never like them but I installed one any way

The tires just barely cover the rims and really expose them to damage from curb rash or in my case crash. I am really pissed off about it and am working on getting some new ones right now.
you just broke my heart, but good info along with the beating.
