I am dying of curiosity now.

unless you have a lip that extends the front bumper sideways (wider)
i dont think it's going to look right. but then, that's just me.

and you'll probably need to slam it

happytheman · 07-05-2014, 05:38 PM

This z has that same offset and size setup.

yah, they turn the wheels away to pose cause the tire sticking out the front
doesnt flow right with the fender. it's a photo-shoot trick (technique). also the nismo bumper
sticks out wider than the base near the middle/bottom corners.

i think the swift didnt get the car low enough for him for the visual.

kenchan · 07-05-2014, 05:48 PM

mr. happy - i suggest you check out the posts in the tire section.

im kinda tired of re-posting again about how to buy wheels that fit a car correctly.

happytheman · 07-05-2014, 05:55 PM
