Looks great but will rub like crazy in the back. I had the same setup with my previous wheels.

I went with a safe 245/40/18 tire all around on my WORKs. Also, true fact that larger tires require more power to move.

altspace, were you running the same wheel offset and make and model tire? Same springs? Camber? All that plays a role if a tire will rub.

hey, great looking setup - kinda dances on the line of aggressive. Nicely done!

please post pic's once you've lowered more w/camber - i think i may go w/similar specs.

They make center caps for Emotion 11r and im sure they fit the cr kai's I was going to get them but personally i like them with out the center caps it looks more concave, just paint them like i did..

I think 20mm is a bit too much.. maybe if my tires are 235/40/18 it probably fit strech look..

^ I was Kidding
Are you really thinking of put spacers on?
Yours going to need a major stretch and a major fender roll/pull/trim


Just curious -- Why would you consider this?
