hey man u get those wheels of ebay ? i just got a set of 13x7s with a offset of -6 :roll: so they look like they will require spacers and will hang out the guards alot on the front only hang out about 8mm on the back. what offset are they there off a gemini yeah ?
also did u get those bumper end caps from eurocullen or did u just chrome dip stock ones ?
cheers brenton

i made the end caps myself out of ally and just polished them those wheels have an offset of 6 i had to grind the front calipers for clearance though, spacers????? they are only gonna push the wheel further out increasing that already large et, although yes you may be using them to clear the calipers, they are gemini fitment. what wheels did you get???

Don't want to sound too negative but those wheels are going to look rank.Sorry !!!! Only being honest.

mine are positive 6 yours being negative 6 means they will be sticking out a further 12mm than mine, i took a decent amount off the caliper as the inner face was pretty flat all is well still. the offset shouldnt make to much difference to the mounting face thoughany way went in for tyres the other day so will be rolling in the next few weeks as soon as the coilovers arrive.
and thanks to the the honesty of some different strokes for different folks, and thank god for it
