I’ll take a current pic as the car is lower now.

But this thread is pretty weak, I mean, **everyone** has wheel gap, wtf. At least I have no gap on my rear wheels, can’t even fit a credit card.

no it was suppose to be for only flush or maximum tire people in the 518. but people don’t follow rules, i haven’t decide if i want to delete all the posts and let this thread just die because not a ton of people in the 518 can, or if i should just let people be idiots and post up sunken battleship wheels.

didn’t expect this thread to be large. but if it gives even one person the insperation to take wheel fitment to the max, then its a success to me. fuck i would love it if we could put together a stanced/flush meet next year.
