sorry about all these dumb topics but atm i don't have my car so i can't test it first hand, so i need to ask all these questions now so i don't fuck it up when i get my car

ok, as in the topic i wanna know if 14x8's require guard modifying.

I'm lookin at a pair on yahoo auctions atm and i wont have my car before satdy, which is when the auction ends, so I'm hoping u guys could tell me how they fit on the front of a lowered car with around -2 to -3 degrees of negative camber?

cheers guys :2thumbs:

p.s. sorry for the dumbass thread <_<

14x8 0 offset with a few degrees camber wont need barely any work.

ive got 14x8 -15 on the front which i ran for a while with pretty stock guards, but now have flared big.

offset of your wheels will help answer the question properly

Should be a nice fit with 195/60's, with 185/60's there will be a fair bit of clearance, but again, depends on ride height.
