Check out 7tuned's white FD, his rears stick out a bit past the fender line as well.

I have a set coming in for another FD in the same color as well.
Is Rob using spacers?

Are the offsets you list of the wheel or as the way the wheels sit mounted? (spacers if any calculated in)

He might be using spacers, but those are the sizes the Work Emotions come in, not the effective offsets.

Hey I am all for aggressive fitment, but that is a lot of poke for a 235. Not sure negative camber and suspension is going to get that wheel to sit flush. The equips are SICK, but IMO I would sacrifice some lip for better fitting wheels.

Yea i know what you mean,, i ddnt buy the wheels. A friend did.. i jsut wanted to test fit to see how those specs would fit

i plan on getting some SSR MS1.

Front: 18×10 +16

Rear: 18×11 +10

I know that Fitment will be easy to pull off


plus these wheels would be simply asthetic.. i plan for antoher set of wheels for strictly track..

Do what you want its your car, but once you stretch the rear quarters in such a way, there's no going back, just get **** that fits right with proper camber, a 17X10 should be around +25 rear and +35 front
