yeah mike took it a step further. he cut the inside edge out and beat the fender out with a hammer, straightened, body filler and primed. the shop did a good job matching the paint up too

I have a few questions when it comes to the aggressive fit scene. I'm looking into getting some new wheels finally, now that I have some good coils coming in. I want to have some aggressive wheels, but not sure how you guys do it.

Do you guys get them custom drilled or do you guys run adapters? Sorry for the noob questions, lol.

some companies will custom drill. others wont, and in that case you'll need to run adapters. but then you need to factor in the adapter's width in with width of the wheels and the offset. or get a hold of powell and order the hub conversion

What would be the best bet? The hub conversion or just figuring out the adapters..
