Zack, if you still going tomorrow. Make sure you take pictures for us.

only thing is that you would have to get over that possible 50 offset though (but remember you would still have a bigger lip then current, because it is a wider wheel, and more precisely it be a 15.4 mm bigger lip (so something like 5/8 of an inch; since 12.2mm is exactly half an inch, if you had the same design as now [for easy comparisons purposes, since wheel designs vary])

basically you have to learn how to go in AND out, and not just out and calling it good

Ok, I'll be quiet now.

Pics from the show will be up soon...as soon as I can figure out how to make them show up here. Lots of sick rides, and a very clean metallic orange r33 skyline.

Will, I figured out what wheels you got...tee hee Hope the drop is working out well.
