yeah, i figured i would do a stretch because once i'm lowered i didn't want to deal with them rubbing.

another perfect example of not doing your homework... not to flame you but if you would have bought the correct offsets you wouldn't had to have wasted a nice 9.5" wide wheel by putting some baby 235 tires on them.

don't get me wrong... the car looks great but those little tires don't look right with such an aggressive wheel... our stocks are even 255

I think he was thinking for the future when he slams his car...he won't have to worry about rubbing much in the rear...btw i think Calviin is running the same size tires f & r and he has 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears...

Car looks good..keep on modding..

yup. my ending goal is to have it lowered on coilovers. to each his own i guess, some people like stock, some like little modifications to their car and well others like the aggressive look.

yeah tires do look off.. too stretched in the rear.. but why did you decide to get wheels first instead of coilovers? Looks awkward right now in my opinion.

well, my plan was to just have a mild drop with springs but my friends all said sell em ( i did ) and save up for coilovers ( which i am in the process ).

Sweet, just need the drop to complete a real good look. Maybe a rear 5-10mm spacer will make the rear wheels look good and make the car look bigger from the back together with the drop .
