Damn when it comes the extreme fitment on the cl you and lippstuh are the shit. That looks good. Thanks for all the info you gave me I got some ame 19x9 19x10 rims on there way from cali as we speak. 10.5 all the way around is just madness lol.

interior is still under construction - majority of the conversion to black is complete outside of a few pieces here and there. my order from acuraoemparts is missing some pieces so i gotta talk to their manager on monday.

it should be complete within the next couple weeks though.

just enough to fit the wheel/tire. i don't have the number off hand, but putting number specs to the fitment doesn't really mean anything in this case because my fenders are modified.

attempting to replicate this without pulling your fenders won't happen. while i like the VIP scene and what they've accomplished, attempting to fit 10.5" wheels under our fenders will either:

(1) break the fender off or
(2) you'll end up looking like this:


which you can see is also achieved with a modified fender and imo, wayy to aggressive for our cars.

The reson I asked is because Im gettng my rear fenders pulled but my camber kit only goes to a negative 2 so I was hoping that would be enough to fit my 19x10s or would I still need more camber. Because looking at your picture it doesn't look like you have a whole lot of camber.

Big Thanks goes out to Tommy and Aaron at GoTuningUnlimited.
Finally scheduled to get my interior fully re-wrapped this upcoming Monday - my car should be pretty much wrapped up my Nisei this upcoming weekend.

Just some updated pics:
