New rims
Well since the snow has began to melt up here in the Northeast I was able to put my new rims on and snap a photo before it got dark. I have a little rubbing on the rears so I'm going to have the fenders rolled. I thought this would be fitting for my thousandth post. I'll be taking some more pics and posting them once the weather warms up. There was alot of modding to the 8 over this Winter.

Cool, what made you go with different offset front and rear?

I bought them off another member here that sold his car. Got all 4 with tires for $1,050. Wasn't crazy about going staggered when he told me but honestly you can't even tell. Only problem was rolling the rear fenders.

Sick deal. Yeah I was curious because that little of an offset difference is hardly noticeable.

Damn that looks good!...

I have always been a fan of the Work Emotions... The 11rs and the CR-Kais both look incredible on 8s

I just looked at the pics I posted and can't stand that f-ing front plate. It looks even worse in pics. Damn NJ and its stupid laws!

I agree I was thinking about getting one of those brackets that fold away to the under side of the bumper.

Thats a nice low profile rear brace!

Wow i never realized exactly how wide 245s were..... maybe those hancooks will be on my summer wish list. Pretty sure I can get them to fit fine with my stockers and height

Looking great man
