Wow, those 20's look better than I expected specially on the back. The front looks a little high however...

[Dobie G]

I really think the car would sit better if it had 18s"

The height is a bit too tall for my taste. Also the fact that I'm adding airbags and the car is going to at times be lower, I need a smaller rim.

His car is definetly made for out here in So Cal. It's a style here. Me, I'm more of low profile cruiser so 20s" don't work for me.

I'm getting the car out of the paint shop today and will post some pics by Wednesday. Doesn't have the new rims yet (has to go to the stereo installer and get the new convertible top installed first).

I was hoping to take a few more shots of my friends car for Marvin, but my friend split to Chicago and left the car at another friends house. I'll post those after the New year.

Yes they do. When he turns hard they touch the upper front panel slightly.

i was thinking 19" would be perfect. whats the width 8.5?

Not sure. When he gets back in town, I'll check the specs.

I'm just a few inches off the ground, this is with the springs out, I need to weld in some mounts for airbags. I have a few projects going on so the car is just sitting in the corner right now collecting dust.
