Looks good, I like the stretch. What kind of tires do you have?

The fronts are Diamondbacks and the rears are Wanli. They all have 400 tread ware so I'll get a good amount of runs at drift events. Also, they are speed rated up to 170. If I was made of money I'd go with Michelin's but college blows because it limits my funds at the moment

Good call I didn't even think about it! I'm going to check now to see how much room I have.

I appreciate it man. I didn't actually have a fender roller or the patience to wait and get one so I folded up some cardboard and sat in between the sidewall and fender. Then I lowered the car down, put some extra weight in the truck and let it sit for a while. I rub a little bit every once in a while but nothing crazy and not enough to even damage the sidewalls
