    Been a while. I forgot to post these pics up. The 18x10” 5.97” BS with 295/40-18 Falken RT615 tuck in nicely. Really centered in the wheel tub. I had to adjust the exhaust just a little bit.

    Before with the 18x9” 275/40

    These modern wheel/tire combos have rally grown on me.

    Your car is a great mix of subtle and bold... It really looks fantastic!

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    Looking good! I assume you needed to shave the inner lip of the rear wheel wells to get those tires in there?

    That’s a great combo of slick and sinister. I agree, a ‘68 GS grill would really set it off.

    I’m not sure how much trimming exactly, but the inners were massaged a little and you can see the line marked where the fenders were rolled here.
