Yeah my house , 1pm , Be There.

Went over to Sandy's shop today and saw a pic of the wheels u ordered.

You might not need flares with the offset you chose.

We'll see.

I like Mikes PLP car for a non-molded set up. It was done really clean and fits great. Ideally I'd like to see molded flares and the original fender cut out to clear the wider rim/tire combo.

I hate seeing flares with the tires still tucked way under. It looks dumb and is so non-functional.

I have a 255x35 on the rear of my car and 1st is difficult to hold. Hard shifts into second can sometimes cause me to spin the entire gear to about 50-60 mph. When I had the SO-3's, I could just floor the car in second gear and get completely sideways while going 40 mph. Flares are something I will do someday too and put a 295-315 in the rear of this car to hold the power.

I actually drive less aggressively now with F/I. I made sure before that I installed that kit that I practiced driving better so I wouldn't get any tickets or any accidents.
