I think the 10.5's are gonna be too wide, but that's just me. Your gonna need A LOT of camber and arch work to make them fit. Sometimes it not about how wide you can go, just how well you can fit a wheel to the car.

and thats understandable.
but if i wanted to be "hellaflush" i would have never bought the rims to begin with since they're obviously too wide. Im just trying to do something different since im blessed enough to have the funds to do so. If it doesnt work out, whats the worst that can happen? I get new wheels? i just like going out on a limb every once in a while lol. I guess we'll just have to see what the end result is

I wasn't knocking your car at all, I think it'll look awesome if you can pull it off, I was just saying that you could do it far easier and cheaper, but if funds don't worry you then go crazy. I know I would if i had the money.
Can't wait to see what you do to make them fit right. Will look awesome!

Props on pushing the limits of wheel fitment on the GE8. DO you have the real Mugen visors?

sorry to say man, i concur. car looking clean but the wheels just too much.

still waiting to peep that painted duckbill. maybe it will all come together when finished, but it all comes down to how you like your car to look. props for trying though.
