Wheel Offset Mistakes... haha

Guys:

Saw this in my area yesterday

I think he just stole those wheels off another car ....

Or maybe he is waiting for his fender flares to come in....

Reminds me of those low-rider trucks with the 14-15" spoke wheels that stick out 6 inches from the fenders.

If those rears were sticking out just a tid-bit like his fronts, it would look pretty good. However, the way they are now without flares just looks cheap.

Either that owner is blind or just has no taste in how his car looks.

He probably has to run those tires until his wider ones come in.

What do yous gys mean? Tires sticking out looks 'aggresive' ... and like you borrowed them!

...stick out only a LITTLE bit!

I thought the 'sixties' were over boys!

Ever see the Porsche, Fcar etc. boys run around like that? NOT!
