I thought they'd be a little stretched, lol

I like the wheels, only got one problem, after christmas (I hope!) i'll be getting either the bilsteins PS999's or the tein SS's, would those wheels create an issue in terms of rubbing when the cars lower?

I was thkning they probably would...

Cheers mate

Depends how low, you should be okay if it's not "slammed", but might need to roll guards.

did that offset ruin your handling?


i think the shitty tyres ruin the handling more then anything, but i think they would play a little part, still i am pretty happy with the performance side of things, but it would be intresting to see what its like with better tyres.

as philz said, you may need some guard rolling, but i doubt you will need to pump them out, however with 0 offset you will need rolling regardless and if you want low, you will need some big camber and alot of guard pumping.
