Agreed, I was showing a wheel tire combo that fits the G50 "flush", his pic (cool as it may be) is what it takes to make those wheels flush.

I think the Rays wheels sit very nicely on the G50. And they look great to boot. The rears could probably move another 10mm towards the fender.

McRussell, that just looks retarded. What is that, like 10* of camber in the back?!?

I think the problem why REx's dont look real flush is hes probably got a little excess rear camber... Probably -2 at least.

It's pretty bad, but need I remind you of the "fang" with "real fish tanks" in the headrests?

Maybe, just maaaybe your inability to see that "Viplife's" car is also a monstrosity hints to your "incompetance" (spelled incompetence btw).



Both cars are done in poor taste...one is JdM tYtE fLuShNeSs rice and the other is overdone "show car" rice.

...and yet you're still here.

...and you miss-spelled "incompetence", as pointed out by my italian friend Dori^2.

That car is about the best personal expression of disregard for engineering and performance that I have ever seen. He should return his keys.

No school > me.

The longer I go without going to school the less I care about spelling / grammer.

I would never point out the spelling or grammar (not "grammer") mistakes of forum posts until you start talking about things like competence yet can't even manage to spell it correctly. There's too much irony in that for me to leave it alone.

Nobody ever said the Q45 was a racecar. Whatever the Q45 was intended to be/do though is completely lost in that piece of garbarge.

Nissan designed it to pimp old people to the golf course without breaking their hip.

He turned it into something that looks crazy and awesome.

Thats how the VIP style works. not "ZOMG he shoulda got FN01s the car would handle so much better arggg!!!"

VIP style is definately not gay Just those two black Q's were a bit to aggressive for some of you and that last Q with the fangs needs to be burned and then pissed on and finally recycled at a scrap yard

rex looks like 4degs in the left? and lesser ont he right. need to lower it more

yeah i like vip but i prefer to pick a camber setting and then buy wheels that flush rather than get 20x10 -30 offset from classified and then hammering the body to fit and running a random camber setting. i like it proportional.

imagine a ferrari or a lambo with random wheels... id rather just measure what flushes at the stock setting and do it from there...

say if i want a flying saucer look 5-6degs camber then i'd choose a set camber setting and then measure to +- 5mm width/offset.

i really dont know why people buy wider wheels in theback and then pull... when they can just get it to fit perfectly since they buy wheels brand new anyways... or go wide fenders... buying wheels used i can understand the pulling but brand new...

the silver car is pretty clean but the rear looks a bit sunk. still nice though
