    Hey, don't hate on me for trying to pull of the most staggered set of wheels I've seen with the right sized tires, that shit is hard. I sometimes can't sleep at night trying to figure out what size tires I should run next.
    im not hating, i just dont understand you

      Ok look at that car. The rear wheel is filling the top of the fender more than the front wheel is. Therefore that would be called "reversed rake". It's not ACTUALLY reversed rake, but it appears to be. That's what your car look like now too.

            fender gad isnt everything. i like the look both ways, but i also like being slammed, and to do that i had to bring the back down as well as the front.

              True. Ok now I just need to cut/pull my fenders and drop my shitz low too. We have the same tire size in the front, but not the rear.

                Man, if I could pull of the miracle of fixing Atlanta's roads, I would be rolling like you.. But I can't so I'm not.

                Head over to ATL anytime. You really should check out some schools. Creative Circus really comes to mind..

                      It needs to go a lot lower.

                      Did you do DIY euro trim?

                        yep, its not perfect yet, but i will be shaving the whole front trim soon, then it will be perfect.

                              Nice ride angle, not about to call it rake. It looks about a half inch taller in the rear, which makes it all seem right. Anything more looks like someone mismatched lowering springs F and R. Oh, and for all you reverse rake nazi's, check this out. Does this look reverse rake? The angle of the pic itself doesn't help, but the rocker is DEAD FLAT with the ground, no pads F or R with H&R Race, I ended up putting the rear pads back in, so its a half inch taller in the rear, but you people kill me calling reverse rake whenever it doesn't seem like someone has a jack under the rear of the car.
                              FWIW- this is FLAT ...

                              Looks weird with the lower rear arches.

                                It seems that the illusion is just that. With the rear arches being lower
                                than the front i think there is no way to overcome this phenomena.
                                My personal goal (for my car -the cabbie) is to drop the rear enough to achieve the slightly higher look in the rear, but not much. Another issue that comes up is that if your car is just right to start with then you add 3 passengers and some stuff it winds up being way too low - so haters will be haters. Trash, i like what you done
                                just don't let 'em give you no sh!t.
