Looks great!! No wonder you rub with those wheels they stick out WAY too far. There is no fix for that.

Welcome. looks great. let us know on future plans for it.

looks clean, are you rubbing the rear wheels?

Posted by: 02LS83

i would really like to get the wingwest lip kit and a new exhaust. The rims dont stick out as far some may thing. the wheels are inside the wheel well. The only issue is back tires when there is a dip in the road. I just have to get inside of the back fender wall rolled in. that should get rid of any rubbing.

nice LS brotherin...

You might be able to get the wheels machined down to add a little more offset, but probably only by +3mm. I'm not sure if it'll accomplish that much. Nice ride.

car looks great!!
imo i like wheels that have some lip. but some reason im loving it.

Posted by: HyeLifeLS

For the rear not to rub, do this. This is what I cut when I had my 20s and they rubbed the same way. Trim the fender liner a bit and the metal, the lip should be ok.

I got the magnaflow cat-back exhaust system and I love it! Nice HP gain and it sounds sweet! Here is an old vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCdOIlp-zo4

I hope that cutting doesn't introduce rust where the actual slicing occurs. If it were me (well, if it were me, I wouldnt do 20's, but all that aside), I'd probably put some sort of rust protectant over the actual bare metal. Good luck with everything. Car looks good
