^smooth cap photoshop
ESM 009R 16x9 +15et
Couldn’t do a real good test fit just yet.
Since the motor/everything is out of the frontend, it wont compress the coils enough.
The fenders still need a little work, everything should line up just as planned though.
A bunch of the shots were just for fun, these wheels are so sick though.

Duuude I know (one of my favorite wheels)…
I wish they were too, but limited funds calls for inexpensive solutions.
They look like a real nice quality wheel though, and will get the job done.

Thanks man, we actually might need you to swing by with a tig

yeah they look good for sure. the 3 piece A’s are $$$ though if you can find a set.
16x9 +15 is going to fit nice though.

For sure, pulling the fenders was a REAL good idea. Fitment should be right on.
You should see the stock front fender fitment :lol the poke would be 1.5"+ :facepalm

Yea I know, ESM was telling us that too- we wanted to get wide though.
I think it will be looking proper squared up on 9"s all around.
Took some pics from Vortex and PS’d some stuff before we ordered :

ya same here my mounts were just too soft I think too. no wheel hop either, because the power was there to just unload the tires big time, not jussssst enough to break loose and hook, break loose and hook aka wheel hop.
