New Kicks! CCW LM20's

[ccdan]

New to the forums. Just got my new set of wheels and tires installed and had a few photos taken of it.

gorgeous car! the wheels look good, although the wheel in the back looks a little small or something

Photoshop!!!!!
edit: just looked at the other pics. It's just a horrible offset. Look how far the lip of the wheel protrudes from the tire!
Pretty ironic considering the website is called flush stance.

[yandy]

not for me, to each it's own.

With the deep lip and fat outer rim these look no bigger than the OEM 18" wheels.

it is flush, get with the program, its tire stretch

I wanted the wheels to sit flush with the fenders and wasn't sure about what tires to use along with them to gain the clearance I needed. So I just ran with the stock sized tires for now to see where they stood. The offset has nothing to do with how the tires sit on the wheels. I guess I'm a little confused on what your refering to as "no bigger"; diameter or width?!?!?

That don't look flush to me......

And I am with the program........the hetero program-mine are tucked.
On a positive note though, the Germans would love it!
Don't get me wrong, if that's the look you want, then thats fine. And the wheels are gorgeous. But they clearly do not fit that car. Looks unprofessional IMO. For as much as they cost, they should be able to do a better job. i know the guy with the mugen civic too. I think he's lost it as well. Your gonna go thru tires like no tomorrow and loose handling as well. Just sayin..................

^^ everything that he said and it looks like crap.

I love the car, dont mind the mean people =)

[ichiban]

I dont like this look either. I had 19x9.5 et40 inthe back for a long time. They stuck out like yours. I loved how deep dish they were, but the rubbing, and sticking out just wasn't worth it. Hey, if you dont drive your car aggressively, or if you have another set for the track, then i'd say keep em, but if you want to take any turns with your car, those wheels would not work.

I like the car too. I love LM's those wouldve been my first choice. i went with the conformist GTR-S's. But that doesn't alleviate the fact that it doesn't fit right. I know that's the style sometimes. To each his own.

[arsenyc]

very euro with the stretch! and most importantly its your car and what YOU like

[cagekicker]

looks good to me!

[SouthpawE46]

holy yes.

[fmxomar]

yeah well.. dont listen to the haters bs here.. all the people here think the wheels should be sitting where the stock wheels sit, which looks like shit.

[dubdemand]

Looks good to me too! Love the euro look and never considered how well it would translate over to BMW!

Here's a pic our old euro'd mk1 Golf (link only as don't want to hijack the thread)

I am from Europe, and STRETCH IS NOT COOL!

[larryn]

Not only is handling greatly reduced, but you hit a decent bump with those and the fender will whack the wheel. They are so stretched, it looks comical to me... like you were trying to go overboard... lowrider-ish.

IMO, it's fine to show you're personal expression, and I love LMs, but to do so and reduce usability of the car is foolish. These are clearly the wrong fitment, but a huge margin.

[AchtungF80]

i like the wheels, but the photography makes the pics look like rendered video game shots.

[ccdan]

Not going to convince ppl in the look if they don't like it. The cars on springs and if it were on coilovers and lowered more the wheels would sit soo flush you'd be lucky to fit a few biz cards in the clearance. Maybe it's just the photos. If I had the correct 245F 275R tire combo on the wheels the tires would surely rub. The stretch is agressive but keeps any of this from happening and there are zero rubbing issues!

Here's a quick photoshop....nothing was done other than lowering the car more. Obviously camber isn't added in the photo like it would be in real life but even still shits flush. Left the border so you can see how much it was dropped.
