Most said that it wasn't possible! That the max you can put in the front is 8 without rubbing that you would have to do too much fender work to fit anything more then 8.5 in the rear well everyone here she is the first that I know of that has 18x9.5 +22 all around on 215/35/18 so yes they are stretched. Tell me what y'all think. Everything is possible in Texas!

Looks very nice. Could you do a closeup of the tire? I'd like to see how much you stretched it.

Those are excellent. What about the tire's tread patch, with the steering wheel at full lock? I love the wheel design, makes the car really pop.

Ill take a pic of that when I get off work!

It doesn't rub at all when the steering is maxed out at all due to the stretched tires!

Thanks I thought so too with the hyper silver color on the black and grey.

It's just funny how everyone was telling me I wouldn't b able to fit anything more then 8 in the front without rubbing and nothing more then 8.5 in the rear without a lot of fender work! And it wasn't hard at all to work the fenders to fit the wheels.

This car has come a really long way, well done bro!

Get some hid lights or retrofit some new ones to complete the look!

Thanks man it's been a long road to get it like that!

Much more to do though I don't think I'll ever be finished with her!

I have HIDS 7k I think they are white so whatever k those are and I also have switch backs for the turn signals. They look pretty clean with the yellow fogs but I wanted to retro some projectors in some clean new headlights I wanted to get yours that you had for sale but I was more focused on getting her sitting right on some nice wheels.

^ might as well do what I did with the JDM setup, no need for switchbacks

That's what I ended up doing, since i would rather have the 'oem look' with the city lights & separate signal
