yep, it will need a set of skinny temp wheels to fit in the trailer with.. and the wheels will have to sit in the front, no question about it. there wasnt more than a quarter inch clearence a side this year in that trailer lol.
Its that.. or a flat bed.. and that will get spendy. Id rather do the wheel swap game.

You have an idea where you will be doing the cutting/extending? example, top or bottom of the fender? Biggest thing in my mind is getting the wheel well height to match up with stock after all that modifying.

you cut the edge of the flare off and set it out to the new tire edge and hold it together w paint sticks for a basic shape before re glassing it all.. you don't extend the top.
When its done, you wont know it was ever bodyworked.

Road trip haha......

I would be willing to bet your car would bottom out on some of the highway imperfections up here, normal streets would be like an off road adventure.

alright.. what color do we pick here.

The grigio dark gray is so damn close to the green right now that I may just bust out this satin pearl white for now//// and then switch back to the grigio gray this summer.
Your thoughts?
