They are 7.5
looks okay, not practical on Toronto streets though
You'd need like at least 20mm or so spacers I'd say. I am at et38 with 7" wide and not close to flushQuote:

Hibernate, rock steelies, winter beater, all depends on the person.Quote:

Or those spacer/lug combos. But ya eventually it becomes less practical to space and more practical to buy the correct wheelsQuote:

I need to find some new wheels soon...
Man that thing looks hot!
Dont forget
to become a memeber of the CAA, cause not only will you be needing it, but you get an awesome CAA sticker as well
that sticker will be as mandatory as the other standard stickers associated when running hella flush and will let everyone know you are hella flush
I have CAA :)
The last setup I posed doesn't have that much stretch to be a serious issue so long as he keeps an eye on his tire pressure.
i would be so horrified of coming anywhere CLOSE to a curb in these cars
hey dave, i saw you post on my friend's stanceworks thread saying that you got new springs,catridges, and lock rings from bc? is it a shorter cartridge or are you just getting a new one? i bought shorter springs already but i cant super slam because i have to to send mine in soon to rebuild them and if they have shorter cartridges then i might as well get them. lol trying to go as short of coilover body as possible. lol enlighten me prease!
I got shorter cartridges, shorter springs, and smaller lock rings. Here is how it sits now: http://twitpic.com/23vddu
and before:

that front mount is hella sexy though..
I was reading the good ol project ERASE rules regulations thread Cardinal posted.... Talk about loop holes...
Apparently Flushed look is legal, and cannot be bothered from cops.
3. I want to lower the suspension and slam this car.
No part of the tires may come into contact with the vehicle, no part of the vehicle can touch the ground and the front wheels cannot be visibly out of alignment.

Might have to justify a Rally Armour purchase lol
Flush is legal here, tires extending past the fenders is illegal in europe hence stretching.
just installed some of my new parts. Wheels and shorter (thanks again dave), nonseized front coils.

thats close to the look im going for Dave.. do you know of any sedans that are flush like that?
No, in general sedans seem to always be set up more conservative. But I am pretty sure you could pull of those specs on sedan.
That look is beautiful IMO.
