Yeah thats right. Aggressive offset, too wide, not enough meat on the tires, and maybe even too low and cambered. I think i might offend some members with this one.

18x10 et25

I'm in to see how you can get it too low with those wheels. What's the offset?

And that's exactly why when I get coils my car will be riding very close to stock height. When I bought expensive brand name Kooks headers I wasn't expecting them to hang down 2 inches below the frame.

You do know you're going to be sticking out 1.9" more than the stock wheels? Maybe with zero fender lip and narrow tires you can make it fit but that's a ton of difference in fitment from stock.

yup! and the stock wheels fit about an inch inside the rear quarter panels. Can someone say POKE!?

I cant wait either. Made an appointment for next week to get all 4 corners rolled and pulled to fit these bad boys.

The fronts are already rolled, so unless you're going to pull them nothing is going on up there.
