haha do some reading and catch up on some other automotive genres and terminology in today's automotive industry other than just American Muscle and then come back.

I get the look. I've seen cars like that, much more exagerated but flush is flush. If my door is supposed to close flush, and the builder had it sticking out a half inch, and tried to call that flush, I'd be pissed. Flush is level and straight. Stretched is not.

To each his own, and I don't think it looks bad. I think it would look nicer with flush/proper fitting wheels, but that is my preference. Call it flush if you like, but it isn't. I think it looks nice, but I call it what it is, stretched.

I don't like my women wearing proper fitting clothes. I like then wearing tight shirts that amplify boobies. That's also my preference. :D

The offset is not "wrong" I purposely chose this offset to stick out past the fenders.



correct.




correct.

for one. I wanted these wheels specifically and wasn't having it any other way.

for two they only(at the time I bought them last year) made them in +18 offset which is pretty aggressive since stock is +45

I would have liked to move them in about 5mm, but still have them sticking out, I looked into getting the wheel hub milled but they cant take anymore off it off because its already at the minimum thickness.

and third the tire size and brand was specifically chosen to stretch like that, if I put wider tires on it would essentially amplify the lower offset wheel even more and make it look "mexi poke" as they call it, with the stretched sidewall it minimizes this.

Its definitely a certain look in the automotive industry today if you dont know about it. And I don't want to "put wider tires and lower offset wheels on" because then I would look like every other americanmuscle.com frequent shopper on here.

Finally some one who doesn't want their car to look like the AM catalog!

he said "Hella Flush" not "Flush"

I never made up the terminology. does it make sense? not really but it is the closest proper term for the look I was going for.

>duggyb love the stance&wheels man great job being different:beer:
Couple of suggestions for mods to further tie your look just my .02c, but a set of either 2010 mirrors with painted caps, or agent 47 mirrors for a smoother side profile, an eleanor style center fog grille to accent the cowl hood even more, 2010 style rear tinted sequential taillights, tint front&side markers and then ad any type of chin spoiler to really set it off:thumb:

My rear wheels stick out too and have that hella flush look. Lots of compliments everywhere I go. And yea AM look is old fashioned. I like to be different and do my own thing vs copying what everyone else is doing. Then when they copy me I change it up and become different again lol

Props to you bro!
