What size wheels are those, 18X what? And what's the offset? And do they rub?

 

[amanwani]

i think the car looks pretty good apart from the wheels. im not a fan of them. good work so far!

Ok, so how low is the car, how wide is the wheels, and what's the offset of the wheels?

 

[b-RANds LUdE]

rims are prettu much tucked my wheels are 18x225

they look sick from the back because there so wide

 

[greatdane68]

Yeah they do. I like it. I've got some Drag 18 17"x7.5" wheels with a 42mm offset. I'm trying to find out if they'll rub with a 1.3" drop and a 215/40-17 tire.

But man, I like you're car because it's different. I like the way that they fill the rear wheel wells and everything. You never did say how much the car has been lowered though.

 

[b-RANds LUdE]

umm not sure excatly how low but about 1.5" its on kyb/bomz racing and lowered almost all the way on them

 

[b-RANds LUdE]

H20 pump
