theres about a credit card's worth of clearance between the wheel and the struts. and about 2.5 inches of ground clearance at the air dam....and ~3 inches under all the car

I'm running wheels with more strut tube clearance than that and they rub rim to strut when I back up while turning. When I had it duuuuumped the tires rubbed on things but the rim still rub is what I'm talking about (not dependent on spring height).

oh.. haha well it'll just rub through haha. i'll check it out though. i gotta grab a set of 5mm spacers to throw on it, then it should be a lot better. those wheels look awesome on your car! aren't those the wheels doug had on his 850?

Yup, they're the OG wheels. My car's not as st<a>anced out as yours now though. I decided I liked my back too much. :-(
 
OWWWWW, YOURE GONNA GET IN TROUBLLLLLEEEEEEE. People on here tend to flame wheels that look good. :lol:

Keep an eye out for classifieds. When I had sawblades on my old Audi, I scored a set of Epsilon mesh wheels from a Corvette shop for $200 that bolted right on to the same adapters!
