I agree that that looks bad ***.

Your photoshop skills definately come with extreme illness.


I think the offset will be alot different with the actual "snoop dog offset bbs" wheels though.

Might look like prelude rims on an fc, super sunkin in.

Might also look really good like in the picture too.

What is the offset on the bbs?

That should be fine for the front- maybe a touch close if you run stock suspension- but will be slightly sunken in the back.
Just slightly, mind you.

I'm running 17 x 8 +20's all round and they are perfect in the back (with 245/40 tires) but stick out about 1/2" or so in the front (with 225/45's).
Some fender massaging may fix this.

Not bad, but if you do do that with the center you should make the hex bolts gold as well. That'd look better.
