GE8 Lowered Thread - Post your pics!!!
Fronts are pretty much flush. Fronts rub though...I had to pull the fenders about 10mm. I wish there were more tire choices (like 185 or 195) for a 7.5" wheel.
The rears could use maybe a 5-10mm spacer.
Oh, and I'm on Hankook V12's. Maybe Falkens would have been a better choice since they tend to run smaller...for more of a stretch.

I'm on 17 by 7 with 205/40/17 40 offset. I rub on dips in the road. Need to camber the front and do alignment

Love it! Can you take a pic from the front or back so I can see the offset? I have been looking at getting some R98's for mine. Did the heavier wheels make a significant change in the way the car feels?
eddie how do you get into or out of any driveway with the mugen front that low off the ground? are there no driveways in nj like in cali? lol.
hahaha fuckin jin. they're not anything special, standard 17x7 2 piece r98's. i believe offset is around 40-45, something weak. ive got a spacer in the rear to bring it out a bit, tire size is 205/40/17...just to compare with whats been posted above.
sure! i'll take some real pics later today, that's all i took with my phone. was real stoked when i came across these cuz you only ever find the ugly take-offs for sale, haha. i realllyyyy wanted the R90's but those were just as impossible to find also, lol. it didn't make a huge difference, but the larger diameter and a little extra weight makes it "less preppy" i guess. these wheels arent tremendously heavy.
