No I read the posts, I don't know why mine sit perfectly flush in the rear and other people are having problems, I do understand people wanting 8.5" in the front instead of 9.5" all around

+1, I personally prefer the wheels to fit flush with the fender or even stick out a little bit.

because theres little benefit to running that wide of a wheel on the front of a rwd car. Weight, heavier steering, you mentioned needing to add negative camber which will produce more wear, etc.

Just because someone likes something different than you, you don't have to take it personally. Wheels are one of the most subjective choices you can make about your car, you can't please everyone.

I can understand the whole width thing, I guess I just didn't agree that they are "better", they're just a similar alternative to rtr's for people who would like a staggered fitment along with a different offset, to each his own though

Wow, I'm really liking your car GT37. You're running it a little lower than stock with those coil overs right?

Thanks! Yeah the coil overs lowered it between 2.5" and 3" never really measured it before/after
