i mean i wouldnt suggest going with this fitment if you arent prepared to rub a lot.. and go through tires very fast.

yeah you should be fine. just when you get the fenders rolled, have them pull them as much as possible. I know of an accord running the same set up with the smaller wheel up front and it looks just fine

no. i wouldnt do it. if your worried about not fitting. then you lack the knowledge and confidence it takes to achieve the stance that i have.

thats good. they will still be somewhat aggressive. but you wont need to run as low and as much negative camber to get them to tuck under the fenders and clear. if that makes any sense to you.

This is sick...I was thinking about doing the same thing but wrapping mine matte white, doing the hood, roof, and spoiler in white carbon fiber, and going with the 17X9 rota D2 or your 527's in that white.

that poke is a little too excessive for me but screw it, youre not tracking the car.

good to see you still are ambitious with your car.

I made the rear lip. Out of a 96-97 w type wings west rear. i chopped it up. theres a thread i made of how i did it.


I like the d2's. I wish they went a little lower in the front. but im exploring ways of making them a lil lower.

your car is straight bad. ass. mane! did you adjust for camber? or when you lowered it did the natural camber squeeze them in how they sit. idk if its a dumb question but considering width and offset I thought I'd ask.

yeah your right. the camber brought them into where they are. i dont have any adjusts for camber, all natrual. and your fight, just because of the aggressive fitment on these wheels. and thanks for the love man!
