Default My new Ray's w/ pics

Hey everyone.. Just got my Ray's VR-X10 wheels on with Falken 452's. With the advice of a few people here, i went ahead and kept them even though i thought they wouldnt fit. The wheels are 17x8 17x9 +44 all around. The tires are 215/45 & 245 40. According to the pictures, how low do you think i can go with rolled fenders? I took my car to a local tuner shop and they recommended Eibach's, which are a 1 in drop all around. I like the Swift sports though ( .70 front and 1in rear). what do you guys think? -david



Here's the front.





Here's the rear.




Both wheels.




And finally: An angle shot of the rear.. They stick out a little.. Should i keep this or get them cambered in? Also, if i lower, how much will it camber in?

I spoke with the owner of a local Tire Pros recently and he test-fitted just the wheel on the car. He told me they would never fit. Not even with rolled fender. That i would need fender flares. muahaha! Went back there today too show him. (sort of rub it in) hehe. I was about to buy tires on the spot from this place but he recommended getting a new wheel. Thanks to the advice of a few people here and at the shop i bought the wheels from, I kept the wheels and got the right tire size. Goes to show, if you dont know your stuff... you can lose business.
