They're a keeper.

Like the offset actually. A nice roll on the fenders would look ten times better than slapping widebody fenders on. I dunno why but your car just says that to me. Rolled fenders, a 1.5" drop and then done.

5 zigen needs to do 17 and 18" front sizes with curved spokes like that. It sorta looks weird having the rear set concave and the fronts flat.

My 5zigens will have concave front and rear since all 4 are 17x10 et12 . But it is a look not everyone likes .

[QUOTE=kenny senter;8826507]I've got the 5zigens as well also in the 17x10. In the rear I went with a +25 instead of the +12. It doesnt poke as much and is pretty much flush. I went with the 8's in front (stock fenders) in a +35

stick with the mesh..unless you plan on running fenders up front. You should of test fit the front instead of the rear. If all 4 are the same offset you are going to eff up your front fenders unless you just monster truck your car.

Thats the perfect setup if you ask me
Srfjay...Im curious to see how your going to get the front to look right with 10" wheels and a +12 is it?? You could still probably sell the 2 to get 8.5 or 9's up front. maybe loose $50-100 but its worth it for the perfect fit, plus you're still under retail price
