I'm not big fan of pushing the limits of fitment; I don't like too much poke. This setup brings the tires nearly flush with the fenders and looks good IMO. I went from an offset of 53mm on the STI to 40mm and I don't really like how the steering changed. A staggered setup would induce understeer, and the engine doesn't make enough power to justify it anyways.

 

And polished lips only look good on '80s Porsches and various vintage sports cars.

 

I like wheels the look like they *might* be OEM, if an OEM really cared...

 

Here are a couple cell pics that show the contours of the wheels better.

Taking up 2 spots is a great way to get your car keyed, or worse.

 

I advise against it. Part next to a curb, as close as you can. Just my opinion.

This is the only spot where I end up like that. I don't do it when I'm at other locations for just that reason. But this is right out front, in the open and way far away from any customer parking. And I don't aim for two spots, I just pull in and park it where I end up since the lines are pretty much gone anyways.

 

You are delusional.

Have you seen how long the BRZ/FR-S threads get around here?

No kidding. I ran over a chipmunk the other day and I never saw it come out behind the car. I swear those fenders make small animals and children disappear. RCE's almost a month late on their springs and no word yet. :(

 

But don't worry, I'm sure I won't be dropping it enough to please the haters. :D

Regards 2 your Scoob: Just because I didn't say it, doesn't mean I wasn't thinking it before. :)

 

FYI, did some research and your hub-centric argument why there are no center caps is bogus. If the wheels don't have them, they don't have them. When I look at those wheels, I think you found 4 spares that are only going to be on the car until your REAL wheels and tires get back from the shop. IMO
