If you look straight down along the line of the tire, there's about 1/2" of the rounded outer portion of the tread showing. It's not noticeable unless you are at this exact vantage point. No interference with any existing body parts, and it's been lowered on stock bolts. Toque is correct; the Invos are about 5mm narrower tread width than some other brands. Even this wide, they excel at cornering, but aren't any substitute for DRs at my power level. On a related note, the iForge is an excellent wheel that's less expensive than HRE; not that I'd pay that much. I traded for these used from CF member Factory Race Car, so you might want to take your time, and find a bargain.
Here's a different view.

Those look fantastic! What sizes?
And yes, it would look a little better if lowered more.

The wheels are absolutely awesome and only weigh slightly more then stock, I highly recommend Finspeed to anyone looking for something a little different and a great quality wheel at a fair price!

I am lowered 3/4" on the stock bolts I am going to crank them all the way but I am A little surprised at guys pulling out the stock bolts and screwing up the cars driveability and even making them dangerous if they actually drive the car like it was designed to be driven, however if they are more into looks then function that's cool too. I also don't see how the hell they can drive the car on anything but a flat surface, oh well I do agree lower looks better for sure.
