    Nice photo! Crisspy... That looks really nice with that drop. Did you roll your fenders yourself?

      Yeah with a hammer, dolly, and heat gun in about 30 minutes. I would've preferred to have done it with a fender roller but I needed it done right away. I had to run a good deal of camber though.

        say goodbye to your handling with 2" stagger

          Handling? HA! I run -3.6 deg of camber in the front and -4.3 in the rear with bad suspension geometry. I don't think I care about handling.

            Guy's not sure if you're still looking for spacers or not...but I can help you save a ton of money on 4/100 spacers for your car....but our 4 lug spacers have been reduced...on top of that we are offering another 10% off right now...so yes you can get a set of 4 - 10mm spacers for almost a $100... If you need bolts...these are extra..

              Well if your intent was to buy 4 SETS, which is 8 individual spacers...then yes the total would be around $200... But these are sold as a pair... So a QTY of 1 is a pair of spacers...

                I love all the divingboard porn in this thread. I'm considering 16" diamond racing wheels. So in order to not have to grind anything, you could run spacers up front but then you would want more backspacking to bring the barrel of the wheel back in to make up for the spacer. This would = less dish but a better fit. So is it possible to run 6" backspacing for the rears with no issues?

                  The fronts need spacers so you could get 16x8 5.5" BS which would be about +12 and you could get 10mm spacers to make it +2. The rears don't need spacers because the mounting surface extends past the brake caliper, so you could still run a +0 offset in the rear on a 16x8.

                      I'm confused.

                      16x8 5.5" BS is 1.5" off center, 1.5" = 38.1mm how's that +12? Maybe I'm not sure how wheel offset's work.

                      I'm about to order some 16x8's and trying to make sure I'm doin this right.

                      Front: 16x8 4.5" BS w/ 10mm spacer
                      Rear: 16x8 4.0" BS no spacer ?

                      I'll be good with a 205/40 ya?

                        16x8 +0 will require a roll and slight pull to fit a 205 series tire

                          This shits hard to get straight without a pen and paper, if I were to run 15x8 wheels what BS would I need and what tire size would I need so that there was a ridiculous amount of stretch and I wouldn't have to roll/pull the fenders? I don't mind if I have to grind the caliper bracket, I've got the tools for it.

                              I'm about to put an order in, let me just run the numbers past you guys so I don't order anything retarded. I'm lowered a little on H&R Sports.

                              Fronts: 16x8 ET+12
                              Rears: 16x10 ET 0

                              What tires should I be running, maybe a 205/45 ish? I want a lil' stretch...

                                ^^ Those seem like crazy offsets. I would think that they would be 16x8 ET0/16x10 ET12....
