That is the EXACT look I want! What wheel sizes and offsets are on that car? Looks amazing!

Upon seeing these wheels in person a few weeks ago I ordered a set myself. Pictures do no justice to how the concave look really is. They are also much more sparkly in person and not matte looking as in pictures.
Looks great congrats.

Thanks!! Agreed, the concavity stands out much more in person, the pics just can't seem to capture it completely. Can't wait to see yours!

So, I ordered 275/30/19 Hankook V12s on mine, as I had originally was going 10" in front. Forgestar had discrepancies with their 10" barrels and I chose to do 9.5" fronts. Totally forgot to change the tires to 265/30.
Think that'll be too much tire in the front? Also...gorgeous car! This should pretty much be my setup in a few weeks. |

I have the same setup. Rears rub slightly when i'm driving over humps ONLY. I'm one finger gap from tire to fender in the rear! I might adjust the camber to -2 and see if it helps OR worse comes to worst i'll trim the fender liner.

Cool Pictures, thanks a lot for sharing!
On this picture How much lower did you have the car? Was it as low as the KW Kit goes? Would have assumed so from the install pictures, but appreciate if you could advise |
