Well for a thought they will not work....in terms of being flush of course. I put a set of Diamond racing 15x8 with a 4in. backspace on just to check em out and they stick out about 2 1/2 inches past the fenders. So if you were to do some major pulling/reworking the fenders or flaring then go for it because they look amazing. Otherwise I wouldnt advise it with a stock setup. Lowered like I am I only ended up with a little less than a half inch gap between fender and tire...so a hard bump would probably rape the fenders if I were to use that kind of setup. :) I bought them for a buddy whose gonna sport em on his girls Wagovan, but hes gonna be using a good bit of camber though. I will post some shitty cell phone pics when I get off work. :)

Heres my crappy cellphone pics, all I got before I sold em. :)

don't really want to roll any fenders or run any weird offset... i had some 13x6.5 basketweaves and they were +12 or some offset, rubbed on the back even on a 13" wheel, annoying ftw.

Camber FTL. Wear out your tires, kill your handling, and look goofy all in one shot. :-P A few degrees of camber is ok, but obvious camber like that is just goofy.

Not really digging the whole ridiculous camber/stretched tire trend that seems to be going around. There are a few cars that i do love it on though, for example:

http://www.wiredonhonda.com/photos/nrh09/slides/normreeves09051.jpg

(those rims are 15x8, any bolt pattern and offset, absolutely beautiful, but 1200 a set :Owned2: )


By the by, is anyone NOT following this build? If you dont recognize that car, please let me know so i can send you a link.

^^^ That looks pretty good. That's not what I would call ridiculous camber, and the wheels fit in the car. That is pretty damn expensive though, for what look like stamped steel wheels... :ugh2:

Not ridiculous camber,but enough to go through tires ridiculous fast. Those are Spinwerks drag wheels, reinforced for street use by Bisimoto. They weigh, with the reinforcement, 10.8 lbs each. They are expensive, but worth it if you have the money...which none of us do. Ill just post the quote


The wheels are "Bisimoto Fighter Special" Spinwerks wheels avaliable exclusively through Bisimoto Engineering.
These are a custom set of wheels that have been modified to be used on the street. They use a custom spun aluminum barrel with a forged center for strength. They are avaliable only has 15x8's and each wheel weighs in at 10.8 pounds.:bowdown: Offset on these wheels is very low, in the negative range:D but we can have almost any offset and bolt pattern done that you may choose.

We are offering these custom sets of wheels for a great price that includes the powdercoating and the Special Edition labeling. PM me if you are interested:)
