Hope they fit bro. Looks like you'll need some coil-overs and a nice fender roll. They should fit then

Hahhahha... is this on an FD? Those'll give you a hard time fitting on there... but FD's have very malleable fenders... so it should be interesting... Or just go with some MSports over fenders................

Post some pics!!!

Good job wasting your money- Work definitely offers them in more friendly FD fitments.

What size tires do you plan on running? 225/245? lol

So I finally got to putting the wheels on. Front fittment is fine just need to roll the fenders and the rears need a roll and maybe a tiny pull.

lol... so what, are those? 235's all around?

woulda been better with a nice 285 out back and 265 up front... yummy... GRIP!

dont really like that wheel spoke design either but theyre sick wheels anyhow, nice choice.

they look good, and i'm glad to see that you're getting the engine bay painted white as well (i assume you're doing a color change to white)

but in my opinion, an extra inch of lip is not worth having to run a 245 tire OUT BACK on a 10 inch wheel. Hell I have 255's UP FRONT and 285's in the rear... I'm plenty happy with the lip on my Work Meisters.

his car had plenty of grip before with his old rims and tires that where a tad bit smaller so I don't think thats his worry. I belive it's going to be more of drift car any way.

Wait until you see the color he's going to do.It's going to be sweet.

well then he shoulda ordered 18x12's if he wanted fat lips and tires stretched wide and sticking out from the fender...

then it might have been really impressive.

as it sits now its like looking at a Civic with really expensive 16x7's.... whooodeeedoooooo
