a little update.. i got the tires mounted on Saturday.. and was not able to drive out of the tire shop because i needed my fenders rolled or else it will pretty much eat up my tires.. i have an appointment this sat to roll my fenders.

wheel specs:
20x9.5 +12 all around
245/35/20 Falken Azenis PT-722

the PT-722 just barely released. i was told that it was good from my friend that owns a tire shop and they were pretty cheap.. 470 for a set mounted and balanced.

here was a test fit, i tested it on 1 side of the car..

full shot.

side rear


rear passenger


rear passenger


Front driver (need to go lower)


Front Driver


Font Driver


Front Driver


Rear Passenger (the rears will tuck in good)


Front Driver


Front Driver


Im think the fronts are a bit extreme... as i dont think they will fit without a slight camber.. although i do not like to camber, i think just a little will do.


oh and i also did this mod a while back..







its a whole lot brighter than the stock socket bulb..
the power is running from that one socket bulb, i just split it up to 2 separate led modules.

this is one i used.

Damn way too aggressive offset. :| Would rolling the fenders help? You might need to pull the fenders.

^^^ Agreed it looks too aggressive but is that you wanted that's what matters. I like the wheel style, it looks like Hamann PG2 wheel.

Where did you get the LED for the trunk?

yea i know.. i need more barrel in the rear tho as i have a lot of room in the inside.. might switch the barrel out for a barrel 1 inch bigger to make it 10.5 for the rear.

i was told by my fender rolling guy that it will fit. i may have to throw off the caber in the front slightly, but not enough to make a drastic difference to where i will have camber wear on my tires.

any of not all 5 spokes look the same, or very similar.

i bought it off some website. the lighting is great, its more white then blue.. camera just made it look blue.

they look good pot

i don't think you are gonna need camber for the front, in fact if you lower the front a bit more,you will get some natural camber and you should be fine.

GL with fenders, lil advice when front fenders are being done i recommend not rolling them because they can easily be damaged.
