Looks good none the less. I personally would have gone with a higer offset in the front around +15 or so, so the wheel would sit in more. It looks like the front is wider than the rear. Some people like the stretched look on the wheels. I drag so I dont run stretched tires. But clean car man!

Flare the front and rear, install properly sized tires, and then it will look awesome. This is a little too XTREME DR1FT3R for my taste.

so sad.... such beautiful rims, and a nice car.... turned ugly by the improper offset and tire size anytime the rim sticks out further than the fender, and the tires are stretched, it looks like crapola to me

the back is not too bad, but the fronts have got to go!


note... to each their own, as long as your happy w/ the look.. thats all that matters! i mean no disrespect, just not my taste!

lol... ive been hated on more on this forum than most.... you just have to accept that people arent always gonna like your mods.... but it doesnt stop me from doing it, or posting pics of my work..... you should have seen the crap i got when i posted pics of my car w/ graphics on it! that was when flaming was allowed i couldnt sit for a week.... but i just laugh .......

like i said, your turbo2 is clean, and the wheels are amazing, i just dont like the offset of the front, and the stretched tires! but who cares, right

You bought 9" and 10" tires and put 215 and 225 section tires on them?!

I hate to sound old here, but WTF is it with people and making a "style" out of doing things wrong? It's like buying your pants too f-ing big.

If you were making any real power, you'd go with something a bit wider in the rear. Looks silly.
