17x9.5 MB Battles
How's it going, just wanted to post some pictures of MB Battles because it was tough to find pictures with specs and sizes when I was looking in to buying these. I'm just going to try and answer some questions that I had before I bought them. They're 17x9.5+15 (I wanted to go as low as possible. RV6 V3 j-pipe scrapes a lot) on 215/40/17 Yokahama S-Drives. The wheels clear BBK with no issue at all. The tires have a stretch but nothing too serious I love how they look. I bought the whole setup brand new about 1000 miles ago and they've been great no problems. After I adjust the suspension (F&F Type 1) I always shoot right over to the alignment shop so the toe doesn't kill my tires. I don't have any aftermarket toe or camber arms installed. The front fenders are rolled and one of my rears just got repaired so once I roll that rear fender I'm going to go lower in the rears also, the wide wheels are really close to the un-rolled tab in the rear but they don't rub at all. Fronts will almost definitely have to be rolled to use this wheel setup. I put in a few rolling shots to show the concave is freakin' serious I love how it looks rolling. Hope this helps, I'm not on Azine much so sorry if it takes a while for me to answer questions.

How bad is your turning radius? I can deal with scraping, but man it looks like you can't take a turn. But damn it looks good!
One other thing - do you have the bumper tabs on their for show, or for ease of bumper removal. Not hating, I kinda like it.

He said it is Function/Form Type 1s. I'd like to know the drop too, because it is tucked.

My front bumper is shot and going in for paint this winter I figured I'd try something different for a few, definitely going back in my windshield next spring, especially since I plan on having the A-Spec lips on by then.

Aggressive but nicely done! I look forward to seeing what you do with the front plate once the A-Spec lip is on.

So you need to unfasten your front bumper every time you go in and out of your driveway?

To avoid scraping, yes. I can do it if I go sideways but the bumper still usually scrapes and I've cracked the bottom of it in a few places from doing it, so I play it safe and just take it off.
