^ That's what I thought.. Otherwise it would be more popular mod on our coupes. I see. Keeping the oem bases, but the mirror heads. Yes.. I can imagine the pain.. Really looking forward to seeing you as a pioneer.

Seems a little high in offset for 9.5's by default, and that's probably why you went out for 3mm less. 9.5... Pretty aggressive spec (for me) haha.
Yeah 9.5 is a little pointless but I wanted the most concave spec I could get so I had to get 9.5. I actually got the spacers because the wheel was only 1mm away from the brake caliper. I should have went ahead and bought 5mm spacers though

Damn Jon, that wrap looks amazing! I actually saw you a few months back in downtown Bham, before you had the bumper and lip kit wrapped. I had to pull a double take when I saw you, but I realized it was your car haha.

9.5 looks good to me. Was just wondering about the offsets but that explains it b/c it's concaved. I see. Once I was told to stay close to the true offset when adding spacers b/c they can change the suspension geometry on the car's ride/handling when you go more than 5mm. So, let's not have a remorse, Jon. ;)
