well if you were to buy other wheels? what size and width would you be looking into? do you wanna stretch tire or have meat? willing to roll fenders are keep it stock? do you want to keep the stock vert wheels? to get those flush your gonna need a really big spacer.

for example

I have 17x10 +18 in the rear of my car with a 245/40. sits like this



look around in the FC wheel fitment thread in the suspension sub forum. you'll find both styles in there. meat and stretched

and if that thread is information overload (it always has been for me)

http://www.fc3spro.com/TECH/MODS/RT/rims.htm

this is a good general guide. Of course all individual wheels tires and cars carry fitment differently...

a 10" wide wheel with a +18 offset will give you that look. remember the width plays a big role in which offset to choose.

You could just as easily measure the distance from your current wheels to where u want them to sit, and grab a spacer that fits.

Wouldn't recommend it though.

how big is your pull RE? I'm also interested in rebarreling my 'vert BBS wheels to something like 15x10 +0, anyone know where I can send them off to be done?

vert wheels are one piece. youd need 2 piece wheels to rebarrel. pull is only flared between 5-10mm

heres a different angle. really didn't want to have a huge flare so i tried to make it as mellow as possible.
