    Oh yeah...tell me about it! Not to mention super flush 19s I might even put the WALD on before the wheels, that way if I need to do any modifications to the front bumper (a little trimming) it can all be done right there. I am going to TWS for this one, because I know they'll do the right thing, they always do.

    im sure it can be done depending on how pulled your fenders are. i am pretty sure i can run a 9.5" even with an et30 rim up front of my car easy with a 225 as i have pulled my fenders almost to the max. again im telling you, wrong forum for this topic! everyones going to say it wont work. haha

    According to a wheel offset calculator, I would need an 18mm spacer to be exactly where I am now in the rear, and at that point, I would now be sticking out 26mm more than I was. This should still work though, because I had all that extra room to play with between the wheel lip and the fender. I might just try some 20mm spacers and see how it works.

    Test fit the wheels...they will work! I need to have a 23mm spacer custom made, and then they're golden. I could get away with a 20, but then I would not able to do a full lock turn completely. I am just safer off with the 23. Surprisingly enough, they don't stick out that much. Pics to follow tomorrow.

    WOW.. thats gonna be some crazy shit dude!! cant wait to see them on.

    why not have the spacers so they bolt to the hub, and then the wheels bolt to the spacers.. you could use stock bolts for the wheels to the spacer.. and then whatever is suitable for the spacer to the hub. just a thought.

    On a side note, where did you get your fenders pulled and how much did it run you? I'm thinking of doing one final set of modifications (fender pull, camber correction, all new bushings) and running the car for another year before finally selling.
