Dat dere be contradicting.

You said he did it for himself, so what's wrong with others doing something crazy and doing it for themselves? Fitment is what you want it to be. Some people think its good and flush when the wheel barely clears the fender, others will say it's when the fender sits on the wheel (air setup), while others do it where the stretch of the tire would be where the fender hits. There really is no set right or wrong way and what looks good depends on the person. What looks good to the consensus though, depends mainly on the fender work and how "normal" (no offense to anyone) it looks.

You make a good point Levon. I think some of what we are seeing lately though is people throwing on the most aggressive set of wheels they can find on the width/offset chart or used from a forum marketplace and they aren't willing to do the "proper" work to make it fit. Banging your fenders out at home so you can clear the wheels and the end result is you have to run a crazy amount of camber and your fenders look horrible is not proper fitment. Proper fitment would be dropping your car off at a body shop and having work done to the car to pull them off right. Just my 2 cents...

How about everyone stops talking, nobody gives a **** if you think the camber is too much, the poke is too much whatever... Everyone has their own opinion of whats "right" so instead o trying to argue your OPINION. Just shut up and post dope cars.

Fitted cars have gotten over the top stupid yes, but it's not because everyone is trying to out do each other (for the most part in the G community at least) they just want to push the limits of the car. The only people that make it a competition are the idiots in this thread with stock cars that compare cars to others and say "He's not as aggressive as xxxx"

Shut up and slam your **** or GTFO.

100% agreed, doesn't mean the guys that are still going to do it aren't going to do it right.

Cars have been mod for yourself, if you mod because you want to win trophies then you have your head in your *** and I can guarantee your car is built around the point system (which looks like a bag of ****) There aren't many Gs built like that but a large portion of Zs are.

D@MN Johnny, it's amazing how much a wheel/tire setup can change the whole look/theme of ur car. look's like a straight grip monster now.

Yea wait until i burn these off and go with wider tires. Needed a setup for deals gap which is a 11 mile stretch with 318 curves.. Should be fun.

Thought about lowering it in the rear more but i have a drift event this sun and it would be super low on stock 18's.
