should've gotten bigger wheels with less tire, it just looks wierd with that much sidewall. also, the silver thing looks wierd, i'd paint it.

Well thanks for the responses. For what i use this car for this is what I wanted. My car is a daily driver to and from work. That is it. I have a seperate project I am working on as well . so the big money goes into it. I was just doing something to set myself apart from the rest of the soccer moms and what not. I am planning on lowering. Thinking eibach pro kit at this time.

But it will save him 16 lbs in total which will give him better traction for the holeshot.

I know most of you "tuners" don't like the wheel and tire combo. I am cool with that. Just thought i would throw up some pics of my FA for people to make fun of and make them smile a little. everyone needs a good laugh..?..? They will get me through the winter till i get some more flow and finish my dads 67 mustang. Then the fun begins with mine...

Ill agree, those rims do look horrible. Yeah the tires are shitty, but you live in OH so its all cool I guess.

Oh and your tires arent too fat, they are a perfect size. They just look "fat" since they dont have any tire shine.
