Default Pics Of My Show Off And My Money Maker

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/henboy...?.dir=/474fre2

I finally went 21 inches on silver rims.I still had to install boosters in between the springs for rubbing issues.I now have a bit of a gap in the wheel well.
I even have my previous 18s in the pic.I have had the car for 8yrs and it is a 1990.

car looks clean but on the wheel choice. and 21"?? why? 19"s are prolly the 1LS can safely handle 20"s if you shave and pull the fender. makes it look like a box

Wow,, nice pics!!!! Actually made me go back and look at Blackstealthpaid4's pics as well. Looks like you two are running rims that are similar. Loving the 20's on your car,high but not too high doesnt make it look like so much of a box. Black,, went back and looked at yours as well. I think it is the wheel gap that is killing your profile and throwing it all off. I think if you have the fenders pulled and remove those spacers, as they are really dangerous to ride on anyway, your profile will improve as well. Many will disagree,of course, but that is my two cents worth.
Tuterz,, please post some more pics of your car with a digital camera, the camera phone is not doing you any justice, but in a pinch it will do,,LOL!!!!

Default I am not sure if you guys notice.

Some pics are from 4 yrs ago with the 18s and the others are 21s.There is enough space because of rubbing issues I had, and I think putting spacers in between the wheel and the rotors will eliminate most of the space..Does anyone know where I can get longer studs from?

Do an advanced search. I remember someone else asking this question before. I think is was either in the Wheel and Tire section or the Classified section; try Wheel and Tire section first. I was saying that wheel gap between the fender and the tire itself seems to be killing your profile, kinda throws it off. Other than that, clean ride. And BTW I thought I was the only trucker here on this forum,LOL!!!!
