They curved the face. Prepare to work those fenders. Wide wheels and meaty tires takes a lil bit of work

Most deffinately! That's why I sought out the help of someone much, much more experienced. We will be useing a rolling machine and he's rolled lots of different types of cars.

I don't think I would have done a good job on my own.

Man what a day, I'm exhausted. Well, we rolled the fenders and got the wheels on, I still need to change my toe arms but that will have to wait till next weekend
After the roll and fit the 205/50 tires were much meatier than I anticipated (I hear child saying "I told you so") lol, seeing as how I was going for flush with the tread, the tire and wheel combo didnt allow for it.
There's a bit of rubbing still but next weekend we plan to work it out and adjust the suspension more for tweaking. I really wanted a similar fitment as child's red ek hatch, but the 5mm difference in offset seemed to be a mile when it comes to wheel and tire fitment. So here is how it sits for now, untill we pick back up and do more tweaking.

^yeah. That's what we figured. 195/45 would be best. Problably get some of those next time around, but I'm sure we can get the fit better.
Thank you man!

Now you know what went into my fitment.
Id trim some of the inner rear bumper near where it meets the quarter panel, and do some light pulling until it clears. Also, id adjust for clearance with the coilovers almost all the way down so that when you drive, you wont run into rubbing issues

Not much of a point to have wide wheels ane small tires. Might as well have skinnier wheels

I thought all u stanced homos like stretched tires :what:
I wouldn't know, i don't anything about being "stanced" i just make use of as much wheel and tire as i can without adding to the car.
