      There's a couple people on here running 10's on the rear. But as The Humjet said, massive poke most of the time and for the Aussie's(who seem to have very stricked car laws), it would be way too much.

        If you want poke like that down here you have to get flares of some sort. A lot of the guys with 4X4 and massive mud tyres always get caught out and get told to put flares on the guards

            :'( yeah you lucky pricks, I bet there is no law on lowered cars over where you are. It costed me a fortune to get my car back on the road cause the arrogant cop didn't like my really low car.
            Also FunfGan If you don't mind could you post more photos of your car with those rims, I'm in love with them

              i don't know if its some parts or all of California, but some cops will pull u over and measure from the center of your headlight to the ground and if its less then i think 21 inches, they can give you a ticket for being too low. i haven't seen it in awhile but, knock on wood. i hope it doesn't happen to me.

                Ok yours is different to ours, your laws is probably for collision and headlight height matters. Ours is ground clearance. 100mm from lowest point of the car to the ground

                  Yea the headlight rule has been in place for a while, the main reason a lot of cars were made w/ pop up headlights. Though as you said, its not really enforced anymore. I have heard of somebody getting a ticket for the bottom of their bumper being lower than the bottom of their wheels. Something ridiculous like that, I'd actually be proud haha And Yeee30, your car looks great.
