Thx bro. Did they swap the sensors for you? How you like these Falken tires?

no i left the sensors on my OEM since they had the tires mounted and balance before i got there for the photoshoot. The falken tires are great, good grip combined with the hotchkis sways

You'll need mad camber Geo, like 3-4 degrees...but it'll look seeek!

Thankfully we can get these rims in less agressive offsets right?

You dont really need that much camber. Get smaller tires, get some wheel spacers, then you can camber 3-4 degrees. And dump the car double that. And dont worry, you wont rub, and you wont need to do any fender work or any drilling blah blah. You can cut the metal clip thing whatever if you want, I didn't even cut mine yet. Overall nice looking wheels, its more towards the cheap side and compatible to Axis or something in my eyes, but then again not everybody wants to spend 3-4k on wheels right? So if you're on a budget and want to look good, this could be an option.

That is insane lol. Remember less tire you have the lower you got to go also to cover up that gap. You could even keep the current set up right now, lower the car, and camber it. Also cut that metal clip in the rear and you should be alright. If you want to kick up the looks a little bit, get 265/30/19 in the rears and 245/30/19 in the fronts and lower and camber and perhaps 5mm spacer in the front it'll look clean. Not super aggressive over doing it, but not weenie either.

measure from the surface of the rotors to the calipers.

I measured from the surface of the rotors to the back of the spokes on the rims.

3" front
3.5" rears

Looks like it will clear but verify on your end.

Good luck, and tell 88rotors Geo help ya out
