Re: Dope Status (Take 3)
Ok see now... this is what gets to me about the "aggressive fitment" trend...
See how much room there is on the inside of the fender between the wheel and the suspension components? He could run a wider wheel with a higher offset that maintains the same look from the outside, but would have more wheel/tire on the ground. Why doesn't anybody do this? It looks dumb to me when the wheel/tire sticks out the side of the car, but then from the rear you can see that it's a relatively narrow tire.
Put an 11" wide, +55 or so offset wheel with a 285 tire on that car. THAT would be "dope".

Re: Dope Status (Take 3)
my rear wheels come like 2 mm for hitting the (shit i dont even not what it is call but its on the top of the fender well and goes to the rear struts) you can see where my tire has rubbed on it. wishihadasilvia and civicduty have seen it and know what i mean. i have a 9.5" wide wheel with +35 offset and a 225 tire on it and the outside of the wheels line up with my fender. to me that is perfect fitment. now, if only i could sell my macbook to get coilovers then i will be "dubbin"

Re: Dope Status (Take 3)
car looks amazing. exept for two things that really really bug me.
why do all this work to a car, yet leave the plate holes just sitting there? shave them!
another thing why do all that work wire tucking if you are not going to at least fill all the holes in the engine bay? if it was fully shaved this car could be the dopest thing to ever graze the pavement.
edit: one more thing. the antenna block off plate, he should have just shaved that as well.
