Wheels: MRR HR3.
Specs: Fr. 20x8.5 +35, Rr. 20x9.5 +40.
Tires: Fr. 235/35/20, Rr. 245/35/20

As it sits, there is no rubbing at all. In order to go lower,I need to figure out some way to trim away inner corner edges of the rear aspec lip where the 2 screws hold it to the bumper. It was rubbing when I had it lower. Once I get that taken care then I will lower it more.

i totally agree with this guy... bottle cap style rims can only be pulled off by slamming the car make your rims meet your fenders with no rubber showing.. that would look dirty as fuck!

I'm actually digging the wheels. They are definitely not the norm! Do you have any plans of going lower?

Thanks! I would go lower but my tires are too big. I should have gotten 225/35's all the way around so I could go lower with no worries.

That Blue!

I Like the newer tail lights!

Not a huge fan of the wheels, but at least you dropped it!

Type-s rear side markers may set it off even more! You can sometimes find them in the BM of Azine.

Thanks. They are some cheap lugs I founds in ebay called Sick Speed. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone because the color chips away very easily. I plan on getting some NRG or Rays lugs sometime in the future.
