Man those arch extensions make the wheels tuck like crazy!!!!
Looks good at that ride height though.

Yeah I know! now needs to get some wide wheels with aggressive offsets. At least 18 X 9 with ET 25. I found some good wheels but have to wait until funding clear up Two things competing for limited funding though ABT bumper bar vs new wheels, can't decide which one to get first

Thanks, wheels it is then

+1 on the wheels. I'm not sure what you have in mind but you have a loooong way to go with width and offset to fill out those guards

So true, I'm running 19x9 +33 and theres still plenty of space left to fill those guards (with guard extensions).
I think someone on VWW was running 19x10 +?? (sorry not too sure on offset)

Yes guys it is way too inside, but believe me there are solutions to get wheel one inch outside the arch even but $ are the problem However it is not that bad as shown in the pictures in real life, anyway I took a picture with a ruler to show how far wheels are inside the arches.



Tires are about 40 mm inside the arches as shown in the pic both front and back. Wheels are about 15mm more inside.

Today I got a GoPro camera kit from HN as they are running a sale for those. Hopefully I will be able to capture some Tig action and A/V clips of exhaust soon.



and I should be able to stream video and control the cam through my car tablet

Well my vote is for some 19x10 ET25 running 265/40r19's

Even though I like to run 19X10 s they are bit expensive and heavy. I am looking at 18x9 ET 25 for the time being and cost is not at a prohibitive level. Nothing fancy though but BBK compatible and light weight.

Ramee,

What about something like this??



or maybe this?



Obviously these two are a bit lower, however if you're going to go to all the effort of putting on wide guard extensions, you've got to fill them out!!!
