also your tires and specs should be more stretched than they look, are you running tires that run bigger?

that's weird i never heard of the actual wheel having problems stretching tires, more of the other way around were a tire runs large so when you do a stretch on it, it would stretch less than other that run small

trust me, look at all volks with stretched tires, then look at works, ssr's, etc with the same tire setup and they don't look as stretched

but if we hent lower, no spacers needed imo, it would be just right
I'm confused, when did you see the pics? It's not the one from a week or so ago is it? Cost that would be a different car.

It's not the wheels. Take a look at Volk wheels and then our Work Wheels, the lip itself is different. On the Volk wheels they curve towards the tire so when you fit a "proper" tire, it sits more flush.
