I might want to put some spacers to be a bit more aggressive. I thought 15mm could do it, i dont want to have to much camber(max 2.5°) and i want to be able to run 265/35

my current setup is 18x9.5 +38 with 255/35 and i'll soon be on coilovers to slam it.

would 15mm be ok? or could i go more? or is it too much?

i dont mind rolling my fenders but not feeling a pull. i'd also like to keep my corners.

Just put my wheels on last night.
xxr 522 18x9.5 +25 245/40
Needed fender roll and shave rear bumper tab. Also need to bend up the bracket for the drivers side marker light. I think it may have been in a fender bender at some point because the passenger side is fine.

Zumn wtf are you talking about, your whole care is fake! Right away the fitment and quality you can tell that it's authentic MS. You already know that with aggressive sizes you can't run sidemarkers unless you mod them. His wheels, though fake, are 100x better than your ugly 20's abfugly vis bumper and your 4 at; when your car is quality then we will talk. It still doesn't give you the right to **** on someone's car.


One thing is stating your opinion and constructive criticism, and another is outright bashing someone's hard work. Idk what high horse you are on recently, but you are the least indicated to talk, none of the true OG members even do that.

I know you are my friend and all, just want you to snap out of that BS.

That picture & what Mike said is no longer valid since my car no longer looks like that. True OG members? What the **** does that mean? Because I'm no "OG" I can't say what I want?

Mike, I think its you who has been on the high horse lately, commenting after most of my posts in this and other threads, you must have a hard on for me or something you joto.

Chad- I apologize for what I saidde and that's good that th Likee kit is authentic, however being authentic you would think it'd fit alot more..."perfect". Don't know if you picked them up used or not or who you had them install them but they need some fitment TLC. The side makers I'm sure that you can do something like Tilt did and zip tie them or w/e even if they aren't functional it'd be better than having holes where the markers go. Center caps would be nice as well. Good Luck.

Nothing is "perfect" in this world Zumn. I took nothing you said to heart just as I did when team commented on my car. I bought the kit brand new and I installed it myself. It just looks like there is a gap because of the black foam strip that is on the inside of the skirt. As far as the corners go, I'm liking the look of them out (for now). Don't like the center cap look either, even though I do have a set. Thanks for your comments and I'll try to make the drivers side skirt fit better to please you. Have a good one.

What i said has always been valid bro I'm not out against you, but seriously im talking of actual built cars like ngo or gregs and cars of that caliber, they don't ever put down others.

Response to you i have never been on a high horse, i would not rock replicas, but that is my personal choice, I do not expect others to have the same view or will i give them **** for disagreeing.

I just want this forum to be a nice place, especially this thread we should do it like zilvia, no pics, no post and it would probably get rid off all this smacktalk.
