38mm offset Crystal WHITE black RPM RIMS

Hey finally took some pics of my 2008.5. Hope you enjoy! tthippy

BTW I was told these rims would rub...they don't! Well, maybe if it is loaded down and you take a curve really fast, but regular driving and they do not rub.

I suppose it would look ok without it, but I tend to think the polished door compliments the polished wheels. Really I have the way it is going to be in my mind. It will come together in the end.
appreciate the compliment.

damn thats quite a lip, looks good. I was told anything under +42 would rub and manual says between 45-60, does it ride any different with that offset?

I have been trying to get my stereo together first. I ordered a stealthbox, but havent received it yet. Guy said he had to make it! Why advertise them and not have them ready? Anywayz, I have a P1548 Fosgate 8" , fosgate 3/4"tweets, and a new p200-2 Fosgate amp. I am waiting on a couple caps to take out the lows in the tweets and some inductors to take the low lows out of the doors. Still afraid to wire in the preamp PAC linelevels but...I will dare around x-mas when I have time. On the list: Black tint, DG Carbon fiber wing lip, door trims, and front grill. After that, just mods, mods, and more mods. Of course we are talking a long time...I am broke as a joke! LOL

It feels like it grabs the road better. I mean it should since it is sitting wider. Also, noticed the wheel straightens up faster as well. Don't plan on lowering though. I bet you would have to roll the fenders to do that successfully.

Can't without rubbing.

I just had my stealthbox installed the other week, went with a Polk DB840 8" with the rockford p200-2 amp, its a nice setup

I've got the eibach prokit so i dont think ill be going with that low of an offset.

Got any pics? If you don't mind my asking where did you mount the amp? and how did you do the preamp connections? One more LOL Did you leave the 5.25 hooked up under the seat?

amp on the back of the rear seat, I didnt do the install, line out converter mounted in the driver side kick panel run to back seat. Origionally the sub didnt want to fit flat in the box. I dont have the GT so i dont have the Bose system with amp/sub under the seat, made it a lot easier.

Other than the wheel gap it looks good

 

[ComeBack]

It looks nice i guess not really my cup of tea.

 

[ZooMIN3]

not too shabby.

are those the stock tires you have on there? It just looks bubbled out so to speak. If so, how is the handeling and do you have any pictures from the rear that shows the tire/fender alignment? Yadamean? Thanks!

 

[TippytheHippy]

They are the stock tires.

WHat Gap? You mean the space from tire to fender? (Stock tires same space)

 

[truredspeed3]

Whats the width of the wheel? 18x7.5?
