**Royal Flush** UPDATE 10/18: Lowaaar!!!

[Rich01]

After looking at the pics again I can safely say that they are not flush. They are poking. I'm a fan of the wheels concaveness (if that's even a word) but not the poke or stretched tire. The old wheels were better. Maybe a fender pull with nice wide tires will complete the look, but as of now, not feelin' it bro.

Love the rims but, I think the setup, with a little more work, has the potential to be great. You definitely need wider tires and I would pull out those fenders (if possible, all 4) to accommodate them even if you have to raise the Hawk a little to eliminate rubbing. Just don't pull it too much so that it starts looking like a wide body kit; this does not work on our cars. Props for attempting something unique and thats why we all do what we do as car guys.

Is this what you have done to yours? Let's see it I wanna learn from the pros.

Getting defensive JT?

I love the concavity, and I think the new side shots are amazing, but I don't like the fact that the wheels stick out that much past the fenders either.

I think those wheels are sexy, but they gotta stop poking out.

Find a setup that does that with concativity on an Accord, and I will buy you a set!    .

I'm confused by that since I didn't say anything about pulling fenders, I just complimented and stated my opinion .

Nope. And it was Rich you were hitting. Ha! Here's egg on yo face!

Some negative camber, and maybe a slight fender pull, you should be able to run 255s all around..

Let's not be so negitive kids at the end of the day JT is trying something new on his accord, and that's a good thing. Agree with the set up or not it's innovation. Obviously opinions are welcomed but remember they are opinions! Nice work JT I can't wait to see wider tires on this set up, and I think your plans are good. If you roll the fenders just enough to get a bit of a tuck this will be amazing.

Eggs in the morning... Mmmmm  Sunny side up please! lol  I was talking to Paulius at the time and didn't know who you were referring to, Z. No biggie... Yeah Mike thanks for reiterating my point. I am trying to go 255/35 all around which believe it or not is still a stretch on a 9.5, but just might be the perfect size. I'll just have to camber the rear like Cham said. My fronts look like they can take a 285/45/18 because the fenders have so much room. I love our CM8 "manta ray" style fenders (Kinda S2K Style).

Looking good JT

I was just trying to give you a hard time cuz you said your going to buy me a set, I like the setup .

Thanks man, I am feeling real confident about 255/35 or 255/30, it's just gonna take a lot of precision measuring and some blood sweat & tears. Project in the works for sure.

Here are some Front And Rear Reference shots for those of you wanting exact view of "poke":

It seems like it, right Z

JT, I'm by no means a pro man. I just see a good mod that has the potential to be great and offered my 2cents on how I think you could achieve this. You posted these pics to get people's feed back right like I said "Props for attempting something unique and thats why we all do what we do as car guys" GL with getting those wider tires on there.
