im a idiot got 50mm overfenders which are ovvverkill but thats alright im a kid i had to go big…they were free anyways sum1 else payed for them since they hit my car. Now that i installed 50mm overfenders on the rear i need to fill in the gap. stock 7 spokes dont cut it even close. observe the pics and please help me out on what i should do…as of now one choice would be custom drag wheels with crazzy widths like so [![http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/507/magnumdrag2large0jz.th.jpg](http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/507/magnumdrag2large0jz.th.jpg)](http://img93.imageshack.us/my.php?image=magnumdrag2large0jz.jpg) or more realisticly speaking get something with a decent offset(around 20mm) and run spacers like so… [![http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/8623/billet20spacers4bf.th.jpg](http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/8623/billet20spacers4bf.th.jpg)](http://img93.imageshack.us/my.php?image=billet20spacers4bf.jpg) If i go the second route id like the 17x9 20+ hanabi wheels in the rear with a spacer. Im so lost i just need somthing affordable. heres pics of the overkill car.

depends on how much money you got to work with. but if you’re shooting for 9 wides in 20mm offset you’re going to need something around a 60mm spacer to sit flush. i have nothing against spacers but i think thats wack. get yourself some wheels better than the fakens imo. ---

hanabi’s are flush on the rear… so you would need a 40+mm spacer you would be better off getting 10’s with a low offset… run as little of a spacer as possible ---

Having a set of overfenders and not running wheels with ridiculous dish would be a shame. I hope you got wider fenders for the front or your car will look like a silly drag car. Unless my calculations are wrong 10" with a 0 offset would still need a +20mm spacer appx. ---

Thanks for the thoughts guys. As for the fronts i would like bings front flares :lol: . I took a few more pics now that the lights out. 4" spacers from a machine shop was going to run me 600…and its silly dangerous. really low offset is key more importantly the width of the tires i can run…i can if i wanted squeeze a 12" tire in there. going this route i DONT want 17x10 or 17x12…rubber will just kill me. Any links to nyce wheels suited for me?

4x114.3 right? you dont have much selection with four lug, if was you i would convert to 5 lug and pick up some nice sized fno1’s, work meisters, volks GT’s or something along those lines you will have alot more selection ---

the whole point of me getting overfenders was because the passenger side 1/4 panel got mashed in. wether the overfenders are on or off its hidious…atleast from one side it looks good with them off. :-({|= ---

Work wheels can be made to any bolt pattern, any width, and any offset. Oddly enough, you got free overfenders because they were free (due to you scamming whoever hit you). Now your going to pay directly out the ass for a wheel that will fit them. You could’ve stayed with stock fenders and not had to worry about buying crazy $1700+ wheels to fit. Welds = teh gay unless you have 800rwhp+ and fat ass slicks with tubbed rear fenders. ---

lol i didnt scam anyone…my steph mom reveresed into it so she payed. Quotes were around 2g to fix the panel without paint from other members who have 1/4 panel damage. I figured i was doing her a favour putting overfenders over the damage that are nearly 1/4 of the price. I agree that i dont need 10" or more wide tires im not running huge numbers but at the same time i dont want to kill myself with spacers. Im just looking for a decent rim im not going to be picky about styles but has to get the wheel sumwhat flush even with using 40mm spacer at most…
