You neglected to mention they were kf's. Make them work. I almost resold the ms1s after trial fitting, turns out it just needed to be lower.

Yeah was my theory.. cheap KF's Ill give them a crack at working, Im not even going to attempt to put them on till its lowered at least an inch or 2. I will chuck some load assist bags in the back to limit scrubbage while towing. They are a bit thrashed, but no doubt ill gutter them as I have no sense of where this car is with sill V8 bonnet buldge and no rear visability

And to arron, Im not a fan of silly kid that has been spending too much time on hellaflush blog, then goes and orders wheels 2x sizes too big then rocks it at stock hight with overly streched tyres with a gaurd gap that you could still fit your fist in. I have a vaige idea on how to go agressive quility rims. Rather than just the generic rota/varrastone/xxr junk that most people seem to run here in agressive sizes.

Been doing it for a few years, before every man and his dog offered agreessive whees and you see every 2nd car with aftermarket rims running stretch out of being cheap rather than being necessary. 5+ years ago I had to go to 3 tyre shops before they would put a 235/45 on a 17x10 as they were afraid it would blow up, now it is common practice and like everything the more nad more popular it become the more and more sh*t examples you see and people running strech for no reason when at there height/ wheel combo a chunkier tyre would actually suit better.

Plus Its always just way to compliment the looks, im not one of those guys that 'builds' a 'stance' car to park in a carpark and take photos, they are taken on twisty runs or out to the track and drifted

Ie some pervious cars most are driven hard/ tracked like that

^^ I have the same view, but if some right will look the goods. A little rim out the gaurds is okay AS LONG and the tyres come in to meet the gaurd flush and there is minimal clearance between tyre and gaurd. That black thing looks dumb, even the tyres are outside the gaurd and they are waaaayyyyyy to stretched

You will have to post photos when they arrive and are fitted. -6 just seems crazy but you look like you know what your doing

I would have preferred a size down, but kf's are kinda a 'hero' jap wheel (suprised rota or xxr haven't made a copy yet) have ben discontinued for about 5 years and usually go more than 1200 a pair in 19s in decent size/dish 2nd hand. Thus when I saw some going cheap at auction I jumped on them.

They won't be here for another 2 months so that gives me time to sort out the height so it doesn't look horrid

They will definitely be on the aggressive side. But the test fit of 18x10+0 looked like they could work with some low and gaurd work, and. 9.5-6 is the same outer position

Time will tell I guess. Worae case sell the rear pair off and grab another, know someone selling some 10.5 s that will sit in a little more if theae don't work out
