265's, ...apparently BFG tires run a bit wide, so I played it safe, ...well, also b/c the 275 wasn't available.

It's just you, ....I have the same Tanabe exhaust as every other guy here.

just one of the photographers shooting the car, ...actually his didn;t come out nearly as well. We've planned a reshoot for panning shots.

Thanks again for the comments, ....I wish someone had posted pics like this when I was looking for my wheels. ...just trying to pass along some inspiration.

Damn, your ride looks sick, bro!!

So you have absolutely no rubbing in front & rear, right? I may have to follow your exact wheel/tire size, but with different wheels of course.

it's Oracal red transparent vinyl. I own a vinyl shop, so it was pretty easy. I also used smoked vinyl over the amber on the front lights.
