Sorry - looks retarded to me. The wheels may "fit" but they're still sticking way outside the car. Even with adjustment, they'll still be well outside the car, especially under compression (ie, while cornering).
Nice try, but a little too extreme for my tastes. Good luck keeping the paint on the car with wheels like that...

Again, flame suit on....
But it seems a little bogus that you fit all of these wheels for 1 or 2 days, and sell them off claiming "THEY WORK!!' without spending any decent amount of mileage on any of these setups.
What kind of dynamics are these setups actually seeing? A drive to the alignment shop and back? A quick blast down the highway? Spirited backroads driving?
It may be just the pics, but I can't see how on earth these won't rub unless:
1)you're running 900 lbs/in spring rates so the suspension never compresses
2)you never drive the car hard enough to compress the suspension
3)you're going to run a ridiculous amount of camber
or a combination of the 3.
Again, you don't know me, I don't know you, how the hell do you get away with these types of setups?

the last set had 3k miles
set b4 5k miles
i drive em
i have very stiff suspension w very little compression
but compression pushes the wheel inward when compressing.. go jump on car.
if your a hair off the fender...at driving then under compression it pulls away from fender (inward) not outward so if ur good standing still then ur fine under compression if ur fenders are prepped properly
i drive them just long enuff for the springs to settle and for me to drive em agressively settled and then i make a note of the offset and etc and then sell them and try new offsets.
buying spacers isnt the same as actual wheel #'s so id rather have first hand knowledge..
these are the quickest available custom offset wheels i can get so i just order the wheels for the widths/offsets and at the same time try and make em look nice.. their strictly for testing use..
