Dope stuff! Always loveddd gold wheels on a black car.

What specs did you end up going with on them? my rears are 18x8.5 et 24 and I rub pretty bad in the rear. As in I had to cut most of the metal fender out to the push pins LOL but I still hit the plastic fender pretty bad on the inside even with 2.5* of camber

Actually, those wheels would look freaking great in a silver or sandblasted finish when on a black car. I'm jealous!

Thats definitely conservative. I had thought about raising mine a little bit but it just looks SOOO good when its poked but tucking in the top haha.

Ra2 are you going to MITM this year? I dont know where you live so I assume you may not unless you are close...if you are I would love to see this setup. They look so much different than mine! Especially with gold, but without the swiss setup it gives it a completely different look too.

Do you rub at all? My plastic fenders are eaten up, and my tires are sliced to hell in the rear (I pull off rubber every few days) haha

Yea, I really like your stance!!! I wanted to go lower, but the guy at the shop talked me out of it because "it would rub, blah blah blah." So now I do want to lower it some more though.

I'm not sure if I'm going to MITM, but I definitely want to. Next month I may start on a new project, so if that happens, I won't be able to make it out. I'm really holding off on things until I get word on whether or not I'll be starting on this project, so until then I can't say for sure.

I rub just a little bit! It doesn't bother me since this was how it was before in my BMW, but I do want to shave the front and rear fenders just in case

Where are you from? I live in SoCal

Meh, you're not really stancing unless you rub like mad! Trim the arches and you'll be fine. Great wheels on the car though. Just get that ride height dialed in and you'll be set.
