Default Test Fit

I ordered these on friday off of eBay for real cheap brand new (Cheaper than any place I could find, and included free shipping) and they came in today, so I test fitted them.


I haven't ordered tires or the rears yet, rears will be 17x9 +45. Just waiting for payday to roll around.


but on to the pic
They are 17x8 +45

AF - I am gonna bend the front fender liner up a bit to increase the clearance as well as run a 215 tire and some neg camber, so I should have no danger in the front. In the rear I'm gonna roll my rear fenders as well as relocate the bumper tab and run some negative camber. So I think I'll be good as long as I take the precautionary measures. I'm not that low to begin with so it might be overkill but I plan on getting coilovers in the future so I'm just planning ahead.


Dre - does my plan sound good to eliminate the threat of rubbing, at least for the rear?

if you have springs that are a little soft then the front is going to rub on the liners on the top of the tire. you should be fine in the rears.

I'm in VA.

I have Espelir (sp) springs. I planned on doing a slight roll in the front to keep the fender liner.
