That's where I relocated mine

Bro, now my car looks a bit ugly since I am using Evo 7 's rim.

I would probably change to either Advan RG1 or RG2 or Ralliart or wedsport SA70 rims.. I haven't decided yet.

But I'll post the pictures as soon as I change the rims.

wow, that trunk relocation looks very nice and neat! except someone vendalized w/ spray paint! J/K...

I'd then leave it there. I'd relocated to the right side of the trunk, maybe that's why it felt unbalanced. Wait, are you on RHD or LHD?

So far, my friend and I both using TME done the same thing with similar results. No problem as far as the handling department is concern.
