are you sure he wont need to pull the fender too ? my setup doesn't have as much offset as his does, but I still needed a pull .. I do have a sedan tho, are the rear fenders on the sedan and coups different ?

BTW what's that thing hanging from your rvm ? I've seen it before but have no idea what it is lol.

If anything, he'll need just a slight pull.

And yes, the rear quarter panels of the coupes are a bit wider than the sedans.

You could possibly tuck the rears. If I had the same rear specs they would clear the fenders. Mine poke just enough where if my rears compress too much the lip of the wheel will hit the quarter panel.

Just run a 215/40 all around and call it a day. If you're not going to slam it on its nuts, get a 225/40.

Probly gonna end up going the "nut slamming, 215/40" idea lol. Thanks for all your help my good sir. I value your advice and your car is sikkkkkk

These look really good, if anything get them refinished.
If you can't afford that, paint them silver again, or gunmetal.

Please don't paint them black. lol

Don't worry, I've been turned from :Starwars:the dark side of the blacked out wheels. I'm thinking just a refinish. The wheels were lime green haha, they've been stripped back down to their orig. color but are really dirty.

not bad... how much are u lowered?

My fenders are sitting right at 24" all the way around.

I'm wondering this too^. And the mirror thing is a Junction Produce...thing. Lol im not a big fan. My friend threw it up in there bc he was cleaning his car out to sell it and thought it would be funny.:roy:

Thanks to all the positive feedback guys. I'm absolutely giddy with the thought of finally being stanced. :thumbsup:

where i live in maryland, you cant have any tire exposed past the outside of the fender. If it does, you have to have a flare on it. I hate maryland. Its a stupid money hungry political state. :bs2:

You think Maryland is a money hungry political mess? Living in new York requires a two person household with each making 70k+ to even live decently. we get taxed for everything! Highest gas prices in the country, highest property tax, and a state government that can't get out of their own ways especially with our last disaster with governor paterson....haha I love NY but I hate it :'(

I would suggest a 40 series. You'll have more cushion in case the road is bad.

For the front too? Also, I know you told me your brand of tire.. I haven't had a chance to look them up yet but I am assuming they are expensive.. Do you know any other brands off the top of your head that stretch like yours? My friend had some 225/45 on them and they did not look good.

He never tried to finish them because he could not go lower because of his header. He gave the wheels to me and the 215/35's are almost brand new and he is giving them both to me for around 50$.
