I Like Em Wide...

I got these babys in the other day from wheel adapter.com, they are 1" thick and convert to studs:) Finally had a chance to take some pics with my craptastic camera. In the pics, only the rears are on, I still need to figure out if I like the look of the front wheels sticking one inch out of the fender, and how to prevent them from rubbing. I did these at the same time as QBM endlinks, so I dont know exactly what it did to the handling, all I know is that there is a night and day difference!

You won't get away with anything more than 20mm on the front EVEN with rolling the fenders. It's a tight fit in there, BUT they do look good.

eh? I had 20mm and never rubbed in front. You'd want at least 30mm in the rear to be even though and I did rub back there (edit: very rarely) with 25mm on 8.5 ET 35 and 215s.

you also stretched your fenders though, not only rolled.

anyway, Ben, you're putting one inch front and back? why not just one inch back to bring it out?

Right now only the back has the spacers in, I had the fronts on the car for a minute but they stuck out wayy to far. Maybe with some 205 tires it could work, I have 225's all around, but that may defeat the purpose handling wise.

1in is about 30mm, so if you put that on the rear, on the front, a 10mm kit will be nice.

OK, remind me again why you did this...

Just make sure your wheels are properply lined up with the fender...
