I bought a pair of ray wheels with then intent of putting them on the front of the car when I take it to the IWMAC dirt sprints and autocross, but they stick out too far at the front that they hit the bodywork.

So the other option I have is to fit the tyres off the rays onto a pair of the ssr rims and run a mismatched front to rear. However it looks too much like im trying too hard to be a drifter. Just wondering what other's opinions are on this.

What it normally looks like.

if you were trying too hard to be a drifter the big ones would be on the front :D

I love the original wheels dude, the raised bonnet fits with the drift look. just cable tie ya front bumper on and you'll be away!
Switch back to your original reverse meshies they rule!

Neither. Sell the Works rims. Buy a set of rims that fit.

Don't risk damaging you mesh wheels as they suit the car.

What offset and PCD is the GSR-V?

if you're going to race, it doesn't matter whether you look like a "wannabe drifter" or whatever.. if you win, you look good, no matter what ;)

do what you need to do to win, THEN worry about who's watching.

Bigd - The raised bonnet is there for a reason so i dont mind how that looks.

Tom - the pcd on the gsr is 5x114.3 with a low offset just like a 4 stud starion, so most pre au ford rims will fit.

thrash - i dont mind the mismatched look when im racing, the problem is i have to run that way normally if i wanted the use the advan tyres on the front.
