Hey man your car is looking awesome!! We got to get together sometime. Your rear wheels give your car an awesome stance. You definetely should finish it off with the front rims and tires and a shorty antenna. Manitlove looking at it, LOL!

Let me know what you think
I'd get rid of the back louvers, I think they look stupid, but the rest looks nice.

I like it alot! I think the bigger rear tires are reminiscent of a dragster. I think it gives your car a nostaligic, yet modern look. Keep all the louvers.. they go with that look. A blackout rear panel would be nice on your car. Do you notice a lag in your acceleration with those rims and big tires?

Yeah I barelynoticed a little bit of a lag in my acceloration but I'll fix it as soon as I get a tune
Yeah the rims are a little different but driving down the road and sitting there taking a glance you can't tell. You can really only tell if you get down and look but I will be putting DD rims on the front as well.
Thanks again for all the compliments and opinions guys

hey american the car looks sick. i posted a thread about tire size. I just put 245's on the rear today and the guy i bought them from said I couldnt go any wider but I see you have 295's. do you have any idea how wide i can go for both the front and the rear? I am going to purchase the deep dish's very soon, 18's and i want to go wide. any help is appreciated.

My buddy told me that I can put up to 315's on my rear but I wouldn't do that... I wanted 275 - 285 but I couldn't find them 28 inches tall so I just went with the 295/45-18. I've seen 255's on the front but I think 245 on the front would be perfect. I want to get those on the front of my car as wellalong with DD rims. I havn't decided if I'm going to keep the 17's on the front or just knock em up to 18 but I like the overall look. Deffinitly go wide man I love the look and i know you will

By the way, the lights look sick i like them a lot

thanks about the lights. and I already like the wideness of the 245's that i got on but the ride height isnt the same. how tall is the ride height of the stock tires? is it 28 inches?
