Thank you for typing in normal english. As for the suggestion, I got plenty of friends, here and otherwise.
 
Kmurda, how is the ride on 20's with the springs?..I know you know what it's like dodging city potholes in Patterson, I might order the Eibachs tomorrow..
 
Looks good but too much of the lips of the rims are exposed because of the staggered fitment and the tire size you have to used. I hope the roads are mostly smooth where you are from but the set up looks killer.
 
its kind of the style up here and other places....the whole stretched tire exposed lip thing...like the hellaflush people...

Yea that's a European and Japanese thing. When I lived in Germany all the imports sported that stretched sidewall look. There's a name for it but I forgot what it is but that's real big overseas.

Did you apply for season 2 of The Jersey Shore? People from jersey are so funny. It's like they come from a whole other country. Looks nice though. Why get skinnier tires than the rims? Aren't you concerned about messing up the part that sticks out past the tire? I never understood that. I thought it was just a cheap thing, but it seems like a fad. Hmm
 
funny how even though its been sed a million times....everyone still thinks the people on that jersey shore show r really from new jersey....weni think almost the entire cast is from other parts of the u.s....like ny

tires aint skinnier goes all the way out to the rim...why buy rims from pep boys? arent you concerned about cheap rims cracking. i never understood that.i thought it was a cheap thing, but seems like a fad. but your car is sick tho and fyi jersey shore aint onli for jersey pple...pple from all over come to the jersey shores mayb you should get out of hatersburg i mean hattiesburg and try it.
 
This use to be such a nice nieborhood before the kids from Jersey got here. Nice stance on the car. Can't ride that good on crappy roads though, huh?
 
Rim lip out further than the tread is common with the bigger wheel, stretched is different. I've ran 35s for summer for 5yrs now and just killed a sidewall on a pothole. Doesn't happen as often as you would think and the pothole I caught would have likely killed a 50. The LS handles 20s nicely, better than my VIII handles its 18s.


OP I still think you have a rub in the future....just saying.
 
I think his definition of rubbing and our definition are different. He thinks that because there is no rub while driving down a straight, smoot road with no dips/bumps, that it doesn't rub. But hit a dip in the road at 70, and that suspension WILL compress enough to cause clearance issues. Hopefully he doesn't have the wheels turned while going over a speed bump.

Not saying that the stance looks bad, because it doesn't look bad. Just saying there will be rubbing.
 
worst comes to worst he cud roll the fenders and reduce the rubbing some....and/or get some spring stiffeners in that b*tch...

I totally agree with you Pektel. My rims are 35mm offset and sit flush with the fender. I'm running Nitto 555 Extremes 245/35 and these tires are wide. If I hit a bump in the road doing excessive speeds, the back will rub just a little. So I know he's going to rub with that 25 offset.

HIPARI = mainly used for drifting, consists on using the narrowest tire possible the rim can safely ride with to reduce grip or rubber-road contact. Also used for style. ;)
 
If u ever drift with regular wheel set up, and then u change for a set of wheels using a Hipari set up u WILL notice the difference !! sweet
