Default *UPDATED* Pics of the new "dubs" on da DA

Went out and took a few quick picīs of the car with the new wheels. Bronze Volk CE28N replicas.
Sporting some fat 215/45/17 Toyo Proxie FZ4's. Filled the wheel well nicely. Went from a two finger
gap to a one finger gap, but the shadows in the pictures are decieving.

haha yeah I will try to take a few day pics tomorrow, like I said the shadows make it look 4x4 it only has a 1-finger gap between the tires and the wheel wells on all four corners. and I am getting the JDMshit ITR style lip this Thursday so as soon as I get that on the car I will snap a few pics as well

nope they arent Konigs, they Tenzo R Formula 10's custom painted bronze by myself. Yeah I am getting the lip on thursday then a few new front parts cause of the little accident I had a couple months ago(notice the lack of front shots) then once the damage is repaired Im getting a set of VIS Techno R sideskirts(mugen replicas) Thanks for all the comments

nice rims and DA, but i think the only thing that is going to save it from looking like a 4x4, is a slam

i think your missing what everyone is saying....your fender gap is fine. its the actual hieght off the ground your car sits. it looks slammed wheel gap wise, but its sits almost as high as a stock car cause the wheels are so huge...

I actually intened just that when I got these tires because on the ol 205/40's on my old 17's or 205/50/15's the **** sat to low to the ground and I was constantly scraping on dips in the road or speedbumps or driveways, and since Im getting the lip and side skirts I didnt want to **** any of that **** up by scraping so this way it gives me more ground clearence but even then its only 1/2 inch but enough to not scrape as often, once the lip and side skirts are on it will look fine trust me, as for now it looks a little naked. but you have to look at the big picture not the little picture.
