Default BOOSTSHAKALAKA IS BACK and in black!

so about a month ago i acquired myseld a sweet lil 97 sc4, and since then, i've been busy gathering parts and crap for it, i'm not gonna go all crazy on this one like i did with my old white one(for those old skool members who remember it) i'm looking to pick up a older 5speed sc3 for my track car. anyways i have some 7500k hid's, GE golden yellow fogs, SSR professor sp1's 19x8.5 +27 and 19x10 +30 with some stretched azzz tires 225/35 in front, 245/35 in back falken azenis st115's, i jumped on the bandwagon and did the whole magnaflow bit. 14851's deleted the center cat and did a H pipe, and i'm running D2 racing sports coilovers(they arent as nice as the HKS's i used to have, but they feel nicer than the Tein RA's i had in my FD) anyways heres the pics, ENJOY!

Looks good, definatly some nice wheels, but why did you stretch the tire? You could easily fit more tire with no rubing issues with the size/offset.

So they fit in the fender. Streching a tire is done on wide wheels with low offsets becuase it gains some clearance. thus, streching a tire, allows you to run a more aggressive wheel size, which means MORE LIP

i got about 10mm before it touches the fender, i'm thinking about throwing on a 8mm spacer, slamming the car and rolling the heck outta the fenders

Yes, please do that... But if you roll the fenders really good you could run a 20mm bolt on spacer (in the rear) w/o rubbing.
