We'll see tomorrow, as or right now i pretty much have stock fenders, if they fit in those, then pretty much anyone could fit these. however, not everyone can pull this off

If I dont find a set of mesh style rims I like, I think i'm going to try out the 16x8 Sport Max 002 wheels. I'd really like to do the old school Work Ewing set but they are so extremely hard to find :/.

Can't wait to see how your wheels come out

well you feelings are wrong buddy





and inside fitment (where it counts) there is about a 1/4 between the inner fender and the rim, tires dont even come close to the fender.



so for future reference 17x10's DO fit

now i need to do a roll on my fender to get it to fit alittle nicer without rub

^^ yes i know it was done on purpose. (for drifting) if you reverse mount tires it reduces the chance of the tire chunking..just for future ref
