Wow, it looks really nice. This is making me re-think the rims I want. I thought an 18x9 offset40 would be to much work but you obviously took it farther than that with only a fender roll, Good job man. You think I'd have any issues fitting the size I mentioned?

Yea I wish I was a little bit lower but I got my lip kit coming so it will give it that lower look. I could go a little bit though I just need to run more camber. My fenders are bout a credit card width from touching tire right now.

You should invest in an extra oil pan and a bunch of extra ball joints when you switch to coilovers.

Can't believe the wheels aren't poking out, look at the 32mm offset on 225/40/18 and 18" x 8.0", friggin poking out sooooo much, yet you have a flush look at 9.5" wide and 36mm offset, go figure:

Very wierd. My wheels that I picked up were 18x8 30mm offset and they poked out about 1/4".

Seeing this though is making me want to revisit that idea....
