Just got em test-mounted(no fender pulling, lowering the front, etc...), pics will be up soon.
Tires are in, and mounted!

Test Pics
Here they are,
Rear:


Front(fugly):

And the whole car:


And just a reminder, the fronts have 10mm spacers to clear the brakes.Comment

1. In what way, shape or form? 2. I haven't done any fender work nor do I have the front suspension low enough to run these yet.Comment

well...
1.)2.) i'm confused.
rears look nicely dialed in, but those were never going to be the problem.
do you need a full 10mm of spacing to clear the brakes? how do you plan on making this look anything close to decent up front? i mean, you're gonna need to be literally about 2" lower, which will bring the front poke down from 3" to maybe 2.5", but 9 et-10 up front with chunky tires seems like a pretty tall order at this point.Comment

As you've quoted, "It WILL BE slammed" and "My fenders WILL hate me WHEN I'm done". All I did today was mount 2 wheels to get a sense of how much fender work id need to do. Im not driving on them now. I put the GC conversion kit on a week or so ago, but the new spring perches are not getting welded on till next week(so right now, thats the lowest the front can go). If I was driving on that set up right now? Then yes, it would look absolutely horrible.Comment

And it might be a tall order, but 10mm were the only spacers I had lying around. So that might not be my final setup.Comment

i can see this happening. its alot of poke for my car but if you can pull it off i'll give u props. Just dont expect to keep that front lip or that oil pan if you want to make this stance proper.
btw i like how the rear looks]Comment

You need to use the absolute smallest spacer you can on the front that still lets the wheel roll -maybe even grind some material off of the caliper for clearance. Lots of camber will help aesthetically too to get the top of the tire under the fender. Then, you need to run at least an equal spacer on the rear. I'm thinking that these wheels just aren't doable, unless you like the mexi look. Good luck.

i would say lowered and cambered it can be made to work..if you look at most cars with nice fitting wheels they do stick out a long way when not dialled in at all. though 9" -10 is pretty aggressive..the problem i see is the front to rear look of it, balance wise. But see how you go!
btw it sucks you need spacers with this wheel design, a local distributor just got some of these in and i would've liked to grab a set :PComment

the wheels look very cool!
but without getting low to pull off the stretch and poke, it looks silly.
should have waited to post pictures after slamming it ;)

Yea, my initial plan was to go staggered, but the wheels only come in 15x9. I don't see why its not possible, fenders are just going to get pulled to hell in the front. And the reason I didn't go 195/50 was these are going to need to go through some auto-x, and thats just wayyyy too stretched.Comment
