Couple things:
Your front's are OK just run a lil more neg camber

As for your Rear, your toe is WAY off
Also it looks like you are running no camber at all

I say run some neg camber and get some smaller tires.

That'd look sick as fack!

I dont think the OP wanted nothing to do with running Negative camber, he wanted wheels that would fit right with out having to do that.


When i read the For sale thread i am giving the impression that these wheels will fit a coupe with out any major modifications besides maybe rolling the rear fenders.

Fronts aren't too far off. They just need some combo of narrower tires and some negative camber. Rears obviously aren't even close. You'll def need the fenders rolled and pulled, and some serious neg camber, along with narrower tires.

OP (buyer) is right, these are not as advertised. I'd have a SERIOUS problem with the seller too.

^I agree, possibly the seller didn't see them on the coupe when he bought them....

They are not for your typical coupe fronts a little work...rears maybe with small tires lots of negative camber even then it would be close. I would not be happy with this transaction either.
PS. they would be sickk if you could make them work with smaller tires and camber.

The seller definitely seems to have misrepresented what would need to be done to make them fit. However, I do think that with some work you could make them fit, but you obviously have to be okay with running quite a bit of negative camber.

Fronts are too bad, but I wish I could say the same about the rears. I too interpreted the FS thread that it would fit the coupe without problems. Good luck with the situation.

They look sick, stretch the tires, run negative camber and you got yourself a sick ride.

i agree with with all you guys. and like i said, the wheels are doable. but i never wanted to do more then just rolling fenders and that was the impression i got from the sale. the fronts would be a lot easier then the back. a little neg camber, rolled fenders, and maybe even a little wheel shave. but the rears, well ill let the pics speak for them selves. any suggestions on i should do? besides doing the extreme of neg camber and pulled fenders etc.?

Nothing you can do about the rears. You can go to a shop and make the wheels smaller, I highly doubt you wanna do that though.
