that pretty bold statement, for someone with your specs

what about that picture sums up the "fitment crowd" that you label me part of?

i love the way my stance looks and your opinion could never make me butt hurt. what makes you think i would get butt hurt?

at first the negative comments and bashing were kind of comical but after 2000+ pages its quite annoying. most of the cars you say negative things about arent far off from the cars you say are nice. most of the cars on here are quite nice

^ that's a legit setup man
looks great, and that's coming from a guy that actually doesn't even like VIP style wheels on sport coupes lol

is there any shots from the back though ? one thing that sucks about our oem rear bumpers is how the edge curves toward the center too hard, making any camber past -4 just look like it's more than it really is....

I'm -5 camber out back on a 12.5 +5 with 285 tire, and I don't really like how it looks from only the rear angle cuz of the bumper, thinking of getting an aftermarket rear....
I don't know how many times I've seen people pull up behind me at a red light and make a triangle symbol with their hands laughing, obviously discussing how my wheels look from their point of view, lol

wider wheel and tire package makes the same amount of camber look more pronounced than skinnier package. most people on the road make funny looks and/or are totally confused about it and try to notify you like you have a flat tire. i just smile back or ignore it all together.

here are some rear shots of the previous

john, its as not as bad as some cars that have OEM orange peel. my buddy polished part of the trunk out with a buffer. we just need a day off to clean it up and it should shine like glass

he-man, does running 12.5 up front make my car il-legittimate? the tires are 275/30/19 and 285/30/20. after these were done rebarreling i found out how much harder it is to fit a 20x13 compared to a 19x13. a 19x13 would fit easily with a roll and camber.

That inch makes a huge difference. I noticed how easy it was to fit an 18x12 -8 as opposed to 20x11 -12 and STILL had more room to go more aggressive and/or less negative camber.

its your car, and your wheels set up, what can i say lol.
however, you are the only one that runs this kinda set up on a stock body not only in the US alone, but in the world.

cute baby steps for cute baby specs.




ya, the inch took a lot to fit but im glad i made it work. to get the same wheel/rim gap all around my car was *** lower than the front and really looks like its about to release its bowels.

this is the reason i went with different lips to fix that ugly stink bug squat
[IMG][/IMG]
thanks for doing it.

heman, im just kiddin. im the only one currently that we know of, there is always someone two steps ahead, things change. in 07, i didnt see any cars running 11's with -4 camber. now people got them on the front with more camber than that. 09 12's were pretty rare but 10.5 up front was my thing. 10.5/12 are pretty common now also. people find out how to take it a step further everyday.

euro dre have you considered going to wheel flip and have them cut and reweld the rear to lower offset put on the fronts and rebarrel the fronts to something decent to put on the back? you could use some moar low also.

But then I saw the paint job and I was really disappointed
But once again it probably only needed a buff
