Damn, that looks pretty good. I wish I would've went and test fitted them from Zoeb. So you get not rubbing at all?

no rubbing at all with the wheel fully turned, i think because these are 245/35's rather than 215/45's but i'm rubbing in the back.

Oh yeah, since you are lowered of BC's, how low are you in the front and the rear?

in the front, about an inch (10~ ring rotations) from the lowest, and the very lowest in the rear.

oh, and let me just say that the black wheels will be for sale in a couple days, let me know if anyones interested. id prefer to sell them with the potenzas (they only have 5,000 miles on them) and i have brand new black muteki lugs to throw in as well. let me know if you're interested, ill take more close-up pictures of them and the tires when the time comes.

I also think you could've gone with 40 series tires instead of 35.
Looks good. Your just a fender roll/pull and some camber/toe adjustment away from pimpin (rockon)
This pic made me lawl for 2 days straight..

I can see that they have a lot of poke to them. You have ignited a lot of interest on the boards for others wanting to go the same route. If I were interested in running a setup similar to yours I would want to see the angle I inquired about before I laid down my hard earned dollhairs on some wheels and tires. If you don't wanna post it that's fine but don't knock the question.

i apologize, you've just been following a pattern of negative comments all of the way through this thread, and i assumed it was another one. when i do get the wheels mounted again and make some room under the fenders, i will post more pictures of everything, from every angle. i'm far from done =)

Sarcastic maybe, but never meant to be negative. I honestly didn't think you'd be able to run a tire on them and for that I applaud your efforts. Without people willing to push the envelope and try what is supposed to be impossible we'd all be driving Ford Model T's. Nice work. (headbang)
What brand are the old wheels?
The new set up is sick!!! Big props on having the balls! I'd love to do the Rotas in 9" width but I was looking at the 35 offset instead of 30, and with only a 235/40 tire.
In the rear, it rubbing the inner portion and how is the brake clearance?

break clearance is cool, strut clearance is fine, im just rubbing on the fender. and i wouldn't let 5mm of offset change your mind, thats an extremely small number. and you have to go with something fatter than a 235! i wish i wouldn't have pussied out of the 255's, they will fit.

Better to have gone smaller and know you can upsize when you need new tires than to buy too big and have to unload brand new tires as used after you mount them.
