I think it looks pretty damn good. Yeah you coulda went with a little more tire in the rear, but it's not all that bad as it is. Looks nice man. Like that Burnout kit?

Looks sick. Logan is the man, I got my work emo's from him, 18x9.5+12 rear perfect fitment. Im sure you are getting a good laugh when people tell you they dont fit just like they tried to tell me.

Thumbs up

Yeah I saw your thread. I used the offset calculator and determined mine is about 2mm more outside the car or something that. Logan is funny as hell too. I ordered like half my parts from him. I might even add a spacer in the front because its not as aggresive as the rears. The guy that rolled your fenders might come out and do mine. He did my friends 240 and it looks pretty good.

Oh, James does good work he did my S13 and the rears of my FD, ill have to have him roll my fronts before its back on the road. I wanna run one of Logans long tip mufflers on my fd but he always sells out so damn fast, probaly gonna pick up a nardi deep corn before its all done too. Are those the Kic's super badass rainbow looking lugnuts on your vskf's?

Everyone who says "good job wasting your money" needs to be shot in the head. I love how people who are hating have FN's and no sense of taste. Those wheels are baller my man, good choice.

It's very possible to have good taste AND proper fitment:

Since when does proper fitment include rubbing the fender lip and pushing it out?

Haha, j/k. I'm sure they fit fine once you rolled the fenders a bit.

Good taste is an opinion isnt it? I agree with you, that car looks good. But its not the best looking FD for MY TASTE. Let people put on whatever the **** they want and stop bitching about how it wont fit and this and that(everyone in general who hates on someones wheel taste and fitment). End of story. RX7Club isnt ready for this but ill post it anyway. This is GOOD TASTE in my opinion.

Shitty I have no taste so I buy the same ugly 5zigen wheels as everyone and their brother and think im cool when I really bought the lame fno1r-c and not the forged "F" version which can actually be accepted for a quality track wheel.

I have 17X9 +22 in the front and 2mm really isnt that much. You may need a roll in the front just to be safe but thats about it. And the rears would be a bit sunk.

Hey plague, have you ever fit any gangster vsxx's on fd's? Im thinking of ordering some 18x9 and 19x10's, +20 and +17 or so in Odisc but Im thinking the fronts will need spacers or not be able to run O discs.....
