nice! hey, you have close ups of the tires on the wheels, both front and rear. i wanted to see the fitments. maybe like a side view of the wheels to see how much it stretched.

AntBo: this is as good as I can get it right now...I'll take some more if you need...On a 10.5 inch wide rim a 275 is stretched very nicely but the outer lip is exposed to the elements more so than the front rim...

Nice job on the car. Not sure about the JP antenna since I am not a fan of that mod. Everything else is sweet.

The wheels and tails look great, Your paint looks amazing. Only thing I would look into is going with a 285 wide tire on a 10.5 inch wheel. It does look kind of odd with a stretch in the rear and normal in the front. But overall man the car looks amazing and in motion man it really is a sight to see. Congrats..

WeDsMaN, the car looks terrific! Mind sharing your detailing process? Or, do you have it professionally done?
