Favorite part of this thread: people thinking they can convince other people to change their beliefs OVER THE ******* INTERNET

Anyway... just picked up my car Sunday... then picked up a set of aggressively sized/offset wheels yesterday. Pics will have to wait until I pick up a set of coilovers though.

Well, the staggered tires. And I think what he was going for was "smaller tires in the front than in the back", though I might be wrong.

I know that... I thought you thought he didn't know I was asking about the staggered set up. Usually I see people go with staggered rims so I was curious why the staggered tires with same size wheels all around.

Anyways...

Volk GT-F 18x9 +27...

Thanks man! Yours as well. I did, just cut off part of the fender liner, then used a body hammer on the metal, and no more rubbing!
