It's clearly moving in that last pic.

The wheels look fantastic, but I'm curious how they're using adapters. What is the bolt pattern of the wheels?

I actually hate it.

I do know that car lives around my area, though.

There is no way I could drive that car on a daily basis and keep it in one piece.

I like the wheels, but not the stance. Every time I see a car with a stance like that I try to imagine how many tires they go through as they are just wearing the inside third of the tire. I have a hard enough time hooking 245 tires, so I can only imagine how easy they would break loose with only a third of the contact patch.

Life's too short to drive a car with a broken suspension. 5 lug conversion is a nice touch.

I kinda dig it, but wouldn't be any fun driving it. I'm having a helluva time driving w/o rubbing my fronts all the time . . . and I'm no where near that low.

Someone want to buy 95% 255/45/18 Conti DWs?

It's a great parked look and airbags is the only way to make it possible and driveable.

they're some weird one off adapters he is using. i'm not entirely sure of the bolt pattern of the wheels. supposedly the adapters and wheels are for sale for $2500 currently.

you'd be surprised. unless you run A LOT of camber the tires don't really wear that unevenly unless you do just tons of highway driving so that you're never turning to get the rest of the contact patch hitting the road.

and as far as not rubbing...rolled/pulled fenders, camber, stretched tires. it all keeps everything fairly clear. if you look at the pictures he's running 19" wheels, but the tires are way shorter than the stock overall diameter. that's part of why he's able to get so low. if you ran a stock diameter tire you'd have a hell of a time being that low and not rubbing because you'd be tucking like 3" of pure tire.

How many holes did you have to drill into the existing hub to secure that adapter?
