thanks obeewon and those are some nice stretches u got there.

Actually i joined zilvia forums specifically to post on that thread, you can find me near the end asking a few questions.

I was positive a 275 could stretch on a 13 but those nankangs do run very thin, those guys are also too scared to try the fire technique, i was about to try it myself but I said its not worth it and I just bought wider wheels.

Im really happy with the 295's, they have a very nice stretch on them and a ton of meat too, i love it

Damn! Lol That can be a car meme for the ages.
Not my style at all but i think cutting and welding plus some bondo work to smooth everything out is the only option.... with time and effort it can be pulled off
You got some guts man

lol Joey I would of never guessed that I would be doing this to my car, but my wheels needed new lips and i said why go with the same old, so i got the biggest ones I could get and now here I am.

Im gonna do some cutting , welding and bondo-ing tomorow , im taking the week off work to wrap this little project up once and for all.

Once its painted and my kit is back on its gonna really come to life.
