This poor redneck is very amused.  "CATFISH IS AMUSED.  NOM NOM NOM" Huh??

I loved the uberwides, but the current setup looks most daring.  Way to step up.

How do you drive with those???  Slow and low?
Did you have to use a CHEETAH to get them mounted?

Yeah I heard one Socal guy told me he was surprised I even attempted this since East Coast guys normally like the "hellasunk" look which is "hellaweak offsets" (as they put it). But yeah. Thanks for your input, Jdm_accord06.

Cheetah was used lol. And as far as driving. Like any other day. These Falkens were made for this lol.

This new setup has allowed me to go a full inch lower than I was on the 265s (Believe it or not). Lowered the Hawk a full 1/3" more today and I like this look the most. Better pics coming soon. Enjoy!

So far so good. No ridiculously huge bumps or potholes here in Cape Coral (Knock on wood).  :mrgreen:

It doesn't count if they don't fit.  Any jackass can run a set of wheels with a lower offset.  If they stick out hella far and you're forced to run -5º camber to tuck your wheels, yet you still rub like a fat girl's thighs, it doesn't count.  I'm not ragging on you personally JT (because I know you have guns), I'm just ragging on the style because it fools people into thinking they've achieved something special that nobody else could.

I understand Tim. If there was anyone that would bash the whole "hellaflush" concept before it was me. I was one of the first guys to clear super wide wires without having to do much to the car, and still be pretty flush, and this is something that gave me ammo to question the guys running single digit offsets and tires more cambered out than Marty from Back to the Future. This is just a new innovative style that I've helped a few guys on the East Coast (originally a west coast trend) feel confident about trying, but perhaps more conservatively.

I understand my setup is pretty extreme, but I personally like the way it flows with the car now. It took me a while to get used to since I am accustomed to wheels being completely under the fender, but it's growing on me. Either way just part of innovation. I may go back to something more practical one day, but for now just enjoying this setup and the low cost of tires for a change. (Uberwide tires are almost $200 a pop). Do my views make any sense to anyone here? Thanks for your honest opinions guys, they are always welcomed.
