You could always get some wheel spacers and give the illusion of wider wheels.

8s & 10s

I am takingdelivery of teh FK rims this comming week. They are gettign custom painted as I write thsi. Did not liekthe silver finish so I am going with a darker grey, gun metalish.

Fronts are 8s backs will be 10s.

I'll post pics when done.

FK update

Just got my ride back from RPI, Wheel s look AWESOME IMHO. Its raining so I didn't take pics. Glad I got them painted but wish I had them a darker shade once I saw them on the car. Oh well next sumer maybe.

A bit wide so Now I need to get my fenders widened. Anybody have pics of their car with widened fenders?

Rolling the fronts will do no good. They are still too wide.
I'll take take pics as soon as the sun comes out.

the rims i ordered are 19X8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the back

991.8t · Sep 15, 2003

cool but i need pics guys please

I'm running 18x8.5 BBS CH's. My car is lowered (I guess?) about 2 inches or more. I occasionally get a little rub through fast dips in the front. Fender rolling takes care of this though.
