yeah mig0s, we wouldn't lie to you. it's pretty nasty.

btw... looking at your profile pic, are you running spacers? those wheels look extra wide for 18x8 with 45 offset.

^nah wheels arent wide its the size tire hes running, when i was rocking my 17x8 +35 offset i was running a 225-50-17 and they poked a lot up front, as soon as i went with a 215/45/17 they sunk in, but the slammage covered that lol.

I'm not running on spacers but I made a thread about it and we came to conclusion that there's something wrong with my suspension lol. And my tires are 225/40/18, which are kinda normal. But yeah 18x8 +45 should not poke but it does on mine I don't know why.

I always thought you had to run a spacer in the back with those rims. Anyway a buddy of mine has them on a white SC400 and they look sharp. Its not a sporty look but its sort of cool mixing stock wheels around the product line. If you keep them sparkling I bet it would look nice. You could also try the Plasti Dip on them too. You can peel the paint off if you don't like them blacked out. I bet they ride smooth

what can be wrong with your suspension? unless when you put your struts and springs on you tightened everything to positive camber and not at zero camber. Have you gotten an alignment yet?

^^Yeah I've got an alignment done a year ago when I lowered the car the Teins. Struts and springs were installed properly also. I just don't know why it makes my front rims look like +20 offset..
