i think the sizing of the tires is good. Have you considered a less beefy tire, or are you against the idea of stretching?

I guess changing the wheels for the proper width/offset is not an option. Driving around with the wheels at a 30 degree angle is also not really a good option nor good for the tires.

those rear tires are crazzzzy man... you're gonna be rubbing bad when you do rub, and cutting the tires... and you can really damage your fenders

what size? looks like 265/35/20

Daaamn kid!! This thing is Balllllllin!! I like it, it just needs a "little bit" of work not much. I would stretch those tires and do a lower profile and the only other thing is some camber but with the right amount of stretch it wouldnt need too, too much camber. PM if you need more info/help i would b glad to help because this ride is badass lol.

Lowered on twinkies lol ummm ok
I dont mean to be a hater and I mean the rims look ok, its just anytime a wheel sticks out beyond the fender IMO just doesnt look right. And rear tires that wide on a FWD drive car? Hell I dont even think my Z06 had tires that wide on the back.
Now as for the rest of the car LOOOOOVE black Type S's!!
