Talking Finally got new wheels!
Wheels came today! Saw the tires and was all "OMG TREAD!" Hahaha.

Few crappy shots till tomorrow cus I was shooting in low light with a high ISO, and Im editing em now on my laptop, so I cant see things properly..















And I REALLY need to roll my front fenders.. I pulled a piece of the underside of the fender outwards on a slow turn up into a parking lot I think, because it put a nice gouge in my tire And I can hear it rubbing on hard cornering and huge road dips too.

Sportmax 002s
16x8 +/-0 offset all around with Falken ZE512s 205/50/16 stretched a bit so they fit under the fenders.

Why did you chose the 0 offset rims? Especially since you run a 205 tire?

I have the same rims (same color and everything) in the 16x7 38mm offset size and i run a 225/50-16 tire with them with no rubbing issues what so ever....

I ran this setup with stock style suspension too, before i got coilovers...

Because 16x8 only comes in 0 offset. 16x7 has NO dish whatsoever, can you post up pics? I wanna see what those look like.
