    Agreed... and just being picky I agree with the x4 but only with the concave (should still get it with a 9-9.5... not sure with Vossen)... if you pull the front you can prob run the concave on the front and rear (pushing up on the arch not out on the flange & it will still match the rear... what I did with my Audi).... it would be REDICULOUS... otherwise the car's "just" amazing... great work!

      I dunno I am rolled and pulled a bit as it is... I dont know how to do it anymore without pulling the fenders in odd ways taht will throw off the seams around the headlights and door jams.

      10.5" is kinda nuts on the front of an accord. but i'd like to see what you're refering to if you have pics of it post up

          Yeah... 10.5's asking a lot as far as susp clearance if nothing else on a FWD/AWD that's running stock fenders... I'm at 9.5 up front and have a concave face for my wheel... my 9.5's on my 240 are the same... my old 9's for the 240 were as well, but they were +15...

          This is my car: http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6566

          You might be able to get the pull without the side affects you mentioned if you just take your time... and just eaaaase the pull step by step (with some kind of force on the outside as well so it doesn't deflect to much... which is typical with front fenders)

            Sounds interesting.

            I've been debating what my next setup maybe...

            Too many options are swimming around, everything from CCW wheels to Re-Drilled M3 CSL Reps...

              Start talking with Vossen and pull out the roller... set a precedent for the FWD scene!

                Precident isn't the issue... its replacing my transmission which I really dont think will enjoy the weight of a 10.5" rim on the drive wheels lol... the car is still a daily driver.

                I have bolted the wheel on in the past, just to see what it would look like... and it stuck out a good FULL inch past the fender... i mean i'd have to have a seriously custom fender to make this work.

                Vossen does do custom forged wheels... perhaps if its in the budget a custom one off maybe an option with a low offset 9.5" wheel

                          So a 10.5 fits? How much more does the 10.5+ tire weigh vs the 9.5+ tire? I think an inch is do-able... that's about where mine was before I pulled and added a tad bit more camber and dropped it:





                          This is how it sits now:

                                Fook me, first pics are great. I like it, wish the front were more concave, but still good.
