Maybe you should start with going bigger and maybe some will follow. Thats how it all started here. Some went bigger than a few others started to push the limits and now we are at the point where custom body work will become a must. Just go big and start the trend for the cl side.

theres two guys on the cl side (lippstuh, brianlin87) that started pushing the limits that inspired me. after i finish my molded tl lip kit project i think i might look at new more aggressive rims. cant wait to see your finished product.

I am little frustrated with the fronts since they were ordered for bbk and i dont have clearance. So i will be trying to add a 3mm spacer and see if that clears and work my way up on spacers until it clears.

My friend here in S. FLA fit a 12" wheel on his Type S and at first he was experiencing the SAME issue as you..

He had to drive like 3 hrs to get skinnier tires for the rear and then did customer camber adjustment so he can go low..

Looks SICK though!.. Just get skinnier tires!
