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.

:)

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.

Too wide is when you can't reach the ATM out your window.
