I think it needs the rear fenders to be pulled, bondoe'd and repainted... then lowered... the rear is overpoking if thats a word

side shots look amazine... but I still like the le37s more hahahahah

i like your style but this is too much... the wheels are very nice but the rear fitment is too aggressive. i'd go back to the volks IMO. nice photography as always!

I think pulled/flared fenders look sick. It shows that you put more work into agressive fitment rather then just stretching the tires and running mad camber. almost every single car in the "hella flush" thread had pulled/flared fenders. So I must be doing something right.

I don't think pulling is necessary in the rear. As for fronts, they naturally get pulled when you roll them.

That's good to know. I was going to roll my fronts to help with the cutting tire problem but I'll avoid the fronts now.

Brian, your car is straight up on fire. Hella aggressive

I'd like you to stare and this picture and tell me it doesn't look right.

You have to be gay to be able to do that. lol

but seeing how you obviously are SO completely wrong let me help you


its called NEGATIVE camber and going lower otherwise your car will look like a 4x4 and like the mexican down the street no matter what car you have and what wheels you have

please fix that or sell the wheels before people who know what they are talking about start laughing at you
You're a fucking idiot. If you maybe actually knew anything about aggressive wheel fitment and how it's actually done right, the wheels would make more sense to you. Mexi-poke or whatever would be tiny wheels with bubble tires that have about 4 inches of poke, which is far from the case with Brian's car.

Your username is eurodre. Check out how european cars do aggressive fitment and come back after you actually learn a thing or two. Oh, and pics of your car just to see what kind of hot stuff you have... Tool

There's too many people on this board who don't think outside the box. Someone pushes the envelope and does it damn right and haters think they know what's up when they usually drive stock or near stock cars. Expand your minds and look at other modding scenes and see how it's done elsewhere

It's funny bc Brian's car is lower than most cars I've seen on AZ, so seeing these people who don't even rock a low car call him out for not being low enough is a joke. Also, you guys do realize he's tucking a good amount of tire in the back right? Camber will definitely help him get lower but he's already far lower than most cars on here even with 10.5s so it's rather amusing to see people try and hate. Also, pulled fenders are completely unnecessary on his car with these wheels bc there isn't nearly enough poke to merit them, plus if you pull the fronts you have to pull the rears to make it all flow well together

Dude, i'm not HATING on his car, i'm just giving him an honest opinion and constructive criticism. Hopefully after seeing people's comments he will take a second look at the rear and fix what he needs to fix to make it look like it should. Every other set of wheels he's had have looked damn near perfect on the car, and i've given him compliments in all his pic threads. I just think he pushed it a little too far with the specs on these wheels and the look is not coming out the way it should.

turbo7387: I'll say it straight up. His car doesn't look good with all that poke and close to zero camber. It looks like a monster truck.....I'm sorry bforbrian but in my opinion since you're running that much stretch put it to use and go like -5 camber in the rear and drop it more.

P.S. There's a reason why you're not rubbing...

It's up to him what he wants to fix, to be honest there really isn't THAT much poke going on even without any camber and he's got it pretty low already. That being said, I've talked to Brian about pretty much every set of wheels he's had and helped him figure out what the fitment would be like. These are definitely pushing the limits but definitely can be pulled off with the camber he's got now without a problem but he'll camber them more in time and make it look even more nuts

First off, just wanted to say that your car's dope, I ran across pics of it somewhere recently and love it. It definitely doesn't look like a monster truck, it's just raked which is a good look. He's got room to go a little lower in the back as it is without changing the camber and I think that'll make it look a lot better. I don't see the point of insane camber if you don't need it and this car really only needs a little bit more to make it perfect

Poking without tucking just looks extremely wrong...i.e mexiflush. Wheels are nice, but it really does look wrong. Volks were probably the best setup...

Am I the only one that would just get a new car instead of getting new rims every month? lol...Alpine white 335i/red interior sport package and call it a day. As much as I love the TL, I could never continuously drop thousands into it (or any car)

I have to disagree, Hes not tucking any tire. I tuck more tire then that with my stock 17's. So yes he has a couple inches to lower the car and it WILL look good. btw who are you?

Thanks for responding professionally, I appreciate that. Makes my post look really hostile which I definitely didn't mean. And yeah I agree with you, it will look infinitely better once he fixes a few things which won't take much time. Even w/o negative camber I think he can go low and keep the poke look he's going for. Maybe just add a few more degrees or something. Keep us updated

I mean you're on air, doesn't really count or work the same way

I'm Brian's friend with the bagged black Jetta that pops up in his pictures from time to time. It's all about aggressive fitment and stance, it's not like I'm a stranger to this sort of stuff

It's not like he buys a new set every few months and keeps the old ones. Flipping wheels and making profit then upgrading is just smart modding since not too much ends up coming out of pocket and you get to change things up. As for spending money on a car, it's a slippery slope and once you start modding it doesn't end haha

he undeniably needs to drop the rear more, no doubt. Also, those cars are hawt, yes, but there is nothing VIP about them. Maybe i'm wrong, but it looks like hes going for a vip look, not a jdm, or drifter, or euro look with 0 camber. Plus, im pretty sure Illustrious meant the pull doesnt look right on a TL, not in general. While not a traditional platform, the TL caters to the VIP style far more than the JDM style, and from his wheel choice, i'd say its the look he's going for. He really doesnt have that much poke to justify pulling.

oh very nice i like how you can just judge someone over the internet like that, yah buddy i don't know ANYTHING about aggressive wheel fitment sure buddy

so you mean to tell me from your "knowledge" of fitment that a car like the tl posted with THAT terrible height and stretched tires and THAT much poke in the rear looks GOOD?

what makes you think i DON'T know about the european fitment style?

how about this because it's obvious you think you're hot shit, post the pics of that TL on the g35driver.com (i can vouch for a lot of guys who know what they are doing) and the major VIP forums and let them take a crack at it..

if you really want to see my car you're in luck i'm just about to order some work t1s' and I'll show you how its done

I like your jetta, but sorry still disgusted by bforbrians setup. its like he took zero thought into making it. its as if he bought the biggest setup he could find and slapped them on w/o putting any thought into it

WalkerUA6 isnt on air, and hes a perfect example of aggresive setups
