Type S ProgresS
Note: Car will be lowered soon on Tein S-Tech Springs until coilovers next year. Also i know there is a lot of mixed feelings on these wheels, but i like them. OEM ASpec kit up next.

^^and if you do, I think cutting the tabs would do it. I don't think you would need to roll your fenders for those.

I know the 2g type s wheels are so small. 6.5 wide makes them look like civic wheels. When we took them off and put the 07 side by side I was shocked

Looks ok. Maybe if you drop it, it might look more aggressive.

Thanks for the sideshots.

When you weren't dropped, they do stick out. But with the negative camber, the wheels tuck-in and now they are sitting flush with the fenders. Looks awesome, I dig it.
