Under construction: 98 max

Still have a ton of work to do, currently its on the illumina suspension kit, tinted clears/turns, grill painted black and thats about it. Wheels are sportmax 502's 18 x 9.5 all around with 245/40s all around. Rubbage under full compression in rear, but i haven't rolled my fenders yet...

I need coilovers to kill that wheel gap, however I have a devised a plan to take care of the poke up front and the gap at the same time, stay tuned ;- )

NICE OFFSET! That's what I call fitment. Now get some JIC's and tuck it in!

I don't want to rework my suspension just yet, so Im thinking if devising a way to shorten the size of the wheel wells, just a bit then adding a kit to finish it off...you'll see...

You have to see it in person, even the poke looks badass, if only that wheel gap was gone : (

Thanks for the feedback guys! A lot more positive than I imagined. Still got some work, git rid of some of the wheel gap, even out/decrease the poke, stillen/lip kit, and paint. Pearl white again because its so sexy!

Edit: I can't seem to remove the license plate! I painted it on paint, and it was fine, loaded it to photo bucket, it looks fine, then I post it here and the black out is gone, WTF? Any help? lol...Doesn't bother me that much but you know...

Lol you were talking about such a high number (sarcasm) I didnt even realize you typed camber heh Camber is not positive, but its nowhere past -1, have the sheet somewhere...gotta adjust the front...

looks good but what did you do for your tails ?
Look for a guy named bluebatmobile or something like that, sells a great product for the price, just a simple vinyl tint that goes over the lights...

Depends on the offset primarily as well as the width of the wheel...

Generally, about 1 degree of negative camber will be ROUGHLY 5mm of retraction, mine pokes around 15-20mm so you would need a -3,4 camber to fully tuck the wheel in, which is too aggressive for most...

If you want flush, you NEED a spacer in the rear, i just wanted to throw on 9.5 in the front for ****s and giggles

Try 9j +38 with 245(255) 40s and a 15mm ish spacer in the rear, roll rear fenders... Tada, flush

I would be careful going with 40 series tire with 19s, just so you know, 35s should work great

Thanks a lot man...

Ok guys this is my idea that Im thinking of doing, it would require some body work and big *** spacers, but it would look pretty bad *** if done right...



Flare overlays, not necessarily those exact ones as they are pretty aggressive, but you get the idea, they can kill some of the wheel gap, as well as allow me to space out the wheels even more...The would be molded in time and look something like this with the wheels spaced...



Couple more





Thoughts? Im pretty set on this so I will probably do it anyway..

this is another example. this guys on air now and his fitment is sick. i'm not big on flares, but like you said your minds made up. if you do it get some bigger (wider) lip instead of just spacing. no point in waisting all that extra room.

That is true, but these rims are brand new and in college I can't afford to get something else, so I would just space it out...eventually I would get 10 inches wide all around or even 10.5 depending on how aggressive the flare is..

Just my opinion here..... I would definitely mold the flares and keep away from the bolts or rivets or whatever they are on the side of the flares....
