Hahaha, don't mind the missing window trims, or the fact that my bumper is loose lol...but here you can see how I had to roll and pull the front fenders almost 2'' for the wheels/tires to clear. Also, peep the poke in the rear

Couple pics from the shoot yesterday, this is how it sits right now, had to raise her up a hair, the ride was a little ridic on the sleeves/shocks...hopefully that'll all change once I put the Racelands on, and completely dump it back down
are these photos with the falkens on? cause im getting the xxr 527's 16x8.25 with those tires(205/40/16). and that looks awesome!

Yes that's with the 205 40 16 falken 512s up front. They are actually stretched a little on mx 8" front wheels...you can't see it so much here...but I'll upload a close up of them in a bit

did you roll the sheet metal OUTWARDS when you rolled the fender? It looks funny like that, because the metal flattens out. Otherwise, I really dig your whip. You got Racelands on order? Keep us updated.

The roll was done inwards to begin with but the offset was so low on the wheels they stuck out past the fender almost two inches, so we flared the fenders outwards. Still keeping the body lines. It does look different on a honda...but i like the smoother look of this as opposed to big gaudy bolt on fender flares..

well, what I'm sayin is you should have "pulled" the fenders. Its when you roll them inwards, then pull the sheet metal outwards. It keeps the stock body lines, but basically makes the factory flares over the wheel wells a little larger to compensate for the larger offset. I'm sure theres a youtube video on how to do it. If not, maybe a how-to somewhere on the interwebz. Just a suggestion. I think it'd look alot better.

You're riding that low with 350/250 progressive spring rates?

lol...

When you drive around, do you feel a hard "thud" when you go over bumps/dips in the road?
