Should be real meaty. Since offset is based on center of wheel I'd prefer a 55-65mm offset on a 10.5 but have no luck finding it.

No one has a setup that extreme but the 4g fenders buldge which helps with the aggressive look. Once again Brian you are blazing a trail. Please take plenty 'o pics!

Thanks Jay, It's tough to be only the 2nd or third guy to go out and do this without a whole lot of history for research but at any rate everything worked out perfectly. Wheels are on, everything is to my liking. I call it conservatively aggressive. Meaning not crazy, just OEM plus. Taking the car's feature and enhancing them.

Pictures on their way!

So this was yesterday. All the guys at Acura were awesome to work with, they let me come in and snap pictures and adjust my coilovers so that I could drive without rubbing for a day. Props to all of them over there, a real nice set of guys. At any rate I got the fenders in the rear rolled today. They were rubbing pretty bad with some scary noises even after rasied up with a gap with 2 fingers. The problem is that the inner lip is actually slanted down toward the wheel a few degrees from factory which doesn't help the matter. I was holding my balls the whole time the guy was rolling the fenders, I have seem some crappy jobs but I did my research and he has done more fender rolls then I can count. I stressed that it remains OEM from the outside and that it does. $25 each side and I was out in a half hour.

Now back home and lowered back down, doesn't seem to be rubbing at all, might go a tad lower in the front but really seems to good. Nice thing about all this is that I am in OEM spec all for camber adjustments. Can't beat that.

So here they are, the pictures everyone has been waiting for!

Rides fairly well, but it much heavier. I already have fulled camber, toe and caster adjustment in the rear as well as front ball joint for camber in the front.
