09 TW Base. 89K. Only mods are (and I use the term mods loosely here) TPMS system delete, DRL disable, and some wheels.
Its been crappy weather so........kinda dirty. Attachment 22186 Wheels are XXR 531 Platinums 16 x 8 0 offset I got with some 205/40/16 tires nicely worn with some "stance" wear. Nicely firmed up the handling. But needs more meat. Attachment 22187 Which leads me here to my biggest issue. Now, I knew what I was getting into, but with the deal I was getting I figured I could overlook the poke........now Im not too sure. It needs lowering and I have some BNIB B&G springs for a GD I may put on. I may wait till I can source some shocks....dunno. Attachment 22188 Have an offer on the table for some black painted Kosei K1's 15 x 7 38 offset with 195/50/15 tires. May swap him. Only issue is these wheels I have now are mint....literally new...not a scratch on them. Clean. I think I can pull off this look I have now once lowered and throw some OEM splash guards on. Or should I lower with some smaller/lighter Kosei's go for the panda look?? Thoughts? |
i like the look of those rims. in addition to that, i personally think that 15's look too small on a ge. do you have a better picture of how much the wheels poke out? i doubt you'd want the mexiflush look lol. 0 offset is pretty damn low so i'm guessing they're poking out a lot. i say slam it on some buddy clubs and camber it so it doesnt stick out of the fender. that's my 2 cents though. i would do that just so that i wouldn't have the mexiflush look.
one this is guaranteed though, and that is your car is begging for a drop. lol |
Yep. Major fender roll. 3-4in drop. And itll set your car off. At least thats how I would do it. GL.

You're doing way too much with those wheels, too much poke, put stocks back on and sell those, get something with a more reasonable offset.
I like the wheels but the fitment is terrible and unfixable. Unless you want to mount fender flares and cut up your stock fenders :o |
It's going to take $2-3k in body/suspension work to make those wheels look right...not impossible, but you could spend money better in other areas of the car.

Put these on................. And trading today for bronze Rota Torque.....16x7 40 offset..........Will post updated pics. |
I guess I'm the only one who likes slips on the fit.

Nah, the Slips are cool....just not JDM fan boy cool. They look good on the street, just not at a show. You can rock reps, just don't confuse the scenes...
I should know with Konigs....ha! |
