His wheels are +12. I went back and look for some posts from him because I remember seeing the specs posted a while back and knew they weren't the +38. I had actually looked at those gramlights wheels myself and when they first made them you couldn't get the 17x9 in +38.

That is ridiculous. The wheels themselves look great. The fitment, however, is horrible. I thought he just wasn't running any camber but that is just crazy. Why would you buy such a low offset wheel and not even be able to properly fit it. I can understand if it were a +30 or around there, but a +12?!

he already stated that he is not done with the setup.

He hasnt gone for alignment and is still waiting on coilovers.

He is also looking to sell them if the right buyer comes.

Why even throw on the wheels if he can't fit them. Looks stupid as hell like one of those low rider cars with the 14" daytonas with the rims and tires sticking out. Even with super camber, you still can't fit the wheels properly on stock body.

The thing is that even with those offsets it would require a lot of widebody for them to actually fit right. Or at least out back. They'd probably fit under some j's fenders but still be super aggressive. Out back they still wouldn't fit even with the ASM overfenders unless he ran an impractical amount of camber and judging by the tires he's running and the j's wing this car might actually see track time. Look at nichigo's s2k. He's got ASM rear overfeners and is running 17x9 +22 te37s out back with around -3 of camber and that barely fits with 245s if I remember reading some of his posts correctly.

I like the look of the car minus the wheel fitment and I'm not in any way against aggressive fitment if it's pulled off right. I like what he's started enough that I hope he proves us wrong.
