Not a big fan of stretch either, I guess if you put wide wheels I think they are pointless with narrow tires. I can tolerate a little but in general I like big fat tires tucked in the fenders. These are going to take some crazy fender mods to fit, especially if you stick with proper sized tires. I am really looking forward to some progress.

But the good thing is if I do ever add power I have the option there to add fatter wheels

Ok so it has begun , I got the tires off and I started the process of re lipping.
In case anyone was interested ill do a brief step by step on re lipping.
First step is of course removing the bolts, best way is to do everything in a criss cross pattern when removing and installing the bolts.
Second is to cut the silicone seal in beetween the lip and barrel, I used a sharp knife but its better to use a razor blade.
Then you have to take the time to break the seal, some people use a rubber mallet, some people use a two by four and a hammer, either way it needs to come apart so figure it out.
Now I have a question I need to throw out there, Im going to be refinishing my fronts, I really love the look of high polished aluminum, its almost as bright and shiny as chrome when done right, im wondering if I go through the time to sand through the grits and then polish with compounds, Can i then spray a clear gloss over it to protect it? It seems to me that spraying over a polishing compound wont work out well, should i just leave the polished face bare with no clear? Or can I spray a clear over it?
Thanks guys
(edit) damn I need a proper cam these pics are horrible.
