Fuck Frode straight killed it. One of the first to do futuras on non M. Looks so damn clean. Futuras are definitely my second favorite 3 piece wheels. Congrats man!

Your car's not low at all^ sorry.
Problem with this thread is that there is no standard for a car to be considered "stanced". As of right now anyone could post their wannabe "stanced" car here. Ex. standard: "No chewbacca-spec sunken battleship shadow offsets here. We're talking micro minimal millimeters of clearance between lips and fenders." Anyone that doesn't meet this standard and post something retarded would be deleted from the thread. Btw Frode car looks good but have to agree with p casey, when i think of air, aggressive offset'ed wheels come too mind. |

You can say what you want. I know how low it is. I live at my house and cant get out of my own driveway. My car barely clears a baseball. Any lower than what I drive and there is NO point in driving it. Again you can have your opinion, but my car is low. It scrapes everything.

People are so use to what they see other people do online that there is this school of thought that every car must look a certain way. With Frode's car the fitment is spot on, the main point of bags is to achieve low and maintain flawless fenders. He has tucked the entire tire both front and rear, wheel lip flush with the fender. Most people see the style of the lip of the fender being tucked into the lip of the wheel. That may look good parked, but the offset to achieve that look makes the car sit incredibly awkward at drive height. The car should look as good in motion as it does at rest.
A car could be slammed on the ground and still have horrible fitment. Stance and fitment is all about how a car sits. Should be clean and flowing, just because it's not slammed doesn't mean it's not stanced, just mean it's not as aggressive as others. |

The word stance doesnt in any way mean flush, or flush wheels its slang. Just cause my wheels dont poke 3 feet from my body doesnt mean it isnt a "stance". My wheels are flush, my car is low. I can drive it everywhere. It rides like a gem.

This is going to look sweet when it has some lows!
I'm having to go 215/35 9.5" & 245/35 11" making use of tyres I already have until I get some new ones ordered up. the 225 on the 9.5" looks like crazy stretch there compared to my 225 on my 9.5" ! Looks like what I was expecting a 215 to look like on mine :/ .. obv it's a difference between tyre manufacturers, will have to see how it looks when I put them on!
