What VW rabbit fenders look like on a Hachi

When I get an AE86 I won't beef up the apearance like that. It is my taste yes, but I am not a fan of putting spacers on my wheels.

Almost everybody says it's ok to do so, but I've heared from my mechanic that spacers put extra strain on the drivetrain. It causes more wair, and in some occasions spacers are the ones responsible for accidents.

The kind of accident where a wheel suddenly overtakes you "like takumi" when you make a sharp turn / drift.

Ok, most of the time caused by fools using their original, SHORT weelnuts.
But the added risk makes me NOT want to do that stuff.

And anywhere above 195 in width looks cool, but sucks when it's raining. I dislike aquaplaining. And it rains a lot in the Netherlands.

EDIT:I almost forgot! Silly me... I think the vw rabbit flares do the AE86 justice. Slightly bigger than original, but not huge. Great job!

Justice to All
