Its supposed to be a platinum credit card to show your a baller and secretly show all the other dudes in the know how you paid for the wheels. If the credit card doesnt stay you technically dont have the correct fitment ---

I think it needs a slight drop and fender roll, but that’s just my two cents :lol ---

its still a really good setup for a scooby. lower the car about 1.5-2" and it will be money. My car rubs constantly if i have more weight than myself in it. I still want to go an inch lower though. Ther fender will smooth the tire till it stops rubbing after a while ---
