What kinda fender mods have you done to fit those wheels? Any chance of running a little wider tire, maybe 225 & 255 if you raised the car a bit?

i shaved my fenders and rear quarter panels.

you can run 255 in the rear if you raise it up. but from what people have recommended, they said to run 245/30 instead of 35 walls but thats why i chose 235/35

thank you! yeah, pics really dont do justice but close enough! LOL!
I really have a love hate kind of thing with the grill... sometimes i like it but sometimes i hate it. If i get a new grill i think i'm going with Junction Produce or LX-Mode.



OK so i just did my alignment a couple nights ago,
I found out that my rear camber isnt negative 3... it's -3 in the front and -4.5 in the rear. now my toe is pulled down close to spec which is good.
hopefully i have something new to show soon! so prepare for more pics
