Very shweet. Suspension will top that thing off. Couple questions if ya don't mind...what size rubber in the rear, which billet gas cap, and where did you get your fogs?

Thanks bro, for the rears i have 315/35/17 BFG's...the gas cap is the one American muscle sells for 70 dollars i believe. As for the fogs its a vinyl overlay that resembles the CDC quad fogs.

Thanks for the info, man. With the tire's sidewalls being 35, instead of 45, are they shorter? and where did you get the cool looking overlays at?

Looks good. Lowering it will make it perfect.

The sidewall number is relative to the width of the tire.

35 = 35% of the width.

If a tire is wider it will have a lower aspect ratio and the tire will be the same height.

The sidewall (second number) is a percentage of the width.

A 275/40/17 is:

275mm wide

40% of 275mm tall sidewall
