New wheels installed *+17 offset* anti-56k

Just got the kosei Kracing in 15 x 7 with yoko avs es100s
I took a gamble at the +17 offset but they look great and I couldn't be happier. They rubbed quite a bit when I first installed them but I recently rolled the fenders and I have no rub in the front and a slight rub in the rear on high speed dips and bumps. But I can live with that.









Im thinking over the winter, since I will be taking them off, I was wondering what you guys think of the white or should I paint them another color? I was thinking dark bronze, Suggestions?

I probably would've gotten smaller width tires, although the stretched look is *** it would save your fenders.

I dont believe those are +17 because the K1's I had on my car stuck out further than that and mine were a +27

did you roll ur fenders? I exteneded mt fenders out a good 1" in the front and about a half inch in the back so they would clear.

Damn man!!! Looks great!
When I bought my rims I wanted to bring white back. Looks great in white.

I suggest red/white badges and JDM tails in red/clear. It'll work well with the wheels.

where did you get your fenders rolled ?? how much does it cost

i'm thinking of getting the K1 TS with +38mm offset but some people are telling me it's going to rub, did you try the rims on before rolling the fenders or did you do it in anticipation ??

looks good i think, aggresive stance.

mayb a lower tyre profile might help a lil on rubbing issues? ur tyres seem thick.

Thats it I am picking up a set of 16x8 +35's then should fit if these do since I will stretch a 205 on them. Thanks for fitting these makes me more confident about fitting wider lower offset wheels on mine.

you could paint or powder coat the rims because that is really bright on that dark color. it might just be easer to trade rims. but nice look with the offset and style.
