once again not here to impress you

then why are u posting in here...


and i think with a different "stock" front bumper and better flowing body lines around those rear fenders it could be pulled off better.. it just looks out of place in the rear it has the stock lines then all of a sudden goes into those huge flairs..

i was wondering what 16x9 et25 would look...

id think it would be fine. check out my post above... my fronts are 16x9 et32. 7mm more should be juusttt about perfect on stock fenders.. with the right tires of course. I stretched a 205/40 falken 512 on those. I had 215/45 falken 912's before these, and i rubbed. Tire size/brand makes all the difference.
et25 on a 9 with a 205/40 falken 512 (or something with similar stretch) would/should be perfect.

Re: (lowginstr)

prolly has about the same dimensions....my friends are 18x8 or 8.5 with an et of 50 so its still workable....just gonna have to play with adapter sizes.....would be sweet to find the owner of that white gti with them on there and find out what adapters he was running....looks to at least a 215/35/18 or smaller also.......prolly gonna need fender work to sit that low and that car was more than likely to be on air at that height and had flares on it...........but at least its a start..........

you just bumped a 4 year old thread, pat yourself on the back...with a hammer

there is a "tire sizes and offsets" thread you need to discover.
