I :love: the way your wheels fit! Perfect gap all the way around. The rim size complements the car. I'm going to go for that exact fitment. It's the best I've ever seen.
The rubbin issue was just solved, no more rubbin even with the wrong tires.
Made a custom work on the wheel arch
maybe i can name my car ....

I'm glad to read that. Good job.
I guess you "rolled" them, which is what I am going to do when I get wider tires. 235s will fit with the right offset, and rolled fenders.

Holy cow man, nice progress, I guess I should make a worklog. I digress, I think that you should tint the lenses on those tails, I know you took the clear lenses off, but spray a light coat of tint over the bulb covers, you dig? Like sex on wheels my man, like sex on wheels.... I'ma cruise ebay right now to find a set and do that same mod!! THANK YOU outlaw, for the inspiration!!!
