the wheels stick out b/c you got the wrong offset.

with proper offset and an APR wide body 315s aren't hard to fit.

oh well not my car.

EDIT: hopefully you radius'd the rear fenders under the wide body so you can lower it. that much grip with that ride height and you'll be three wheeling everywhere. (ask me how i know).

They said the cusco was good enough plus I am going to have a shop weld attachement bar's and finish the interior strip.

The offset is correct, I had to ask KC at APR and Philip at Mackin Inc. I just have bigger tires and my alignement is off. Again, the car has not been aligned yet because i just got it back after 10months

How does that hood do in the rain? I would think that in a heavy downpour that the engine bay would get all wet...

I have never had a problem with the car in the rain. Normally I park the car if it rains. My 06 Honda S2000 has a Mugen hood and in the rain it does fine as well

if you're poking 295s with 40mm wider fenders your offset is too low.

I wont even mention the side effects that low of an offset would do to your scrub radius.

either way congrats on squeezing an extra 10mm of width out of 40mm wider fenders (referring to your 285s that are will fit better).

EDIT for clarification.
