Do not do 45 series tires, they look so ugly if you don't do an extreme stretch. I also feel you should add some spacers on your current setup, was looking at your pics and was like it would be the **** if you add some spacers to fill in the gaps.. Just my opinion..

yea i got a deal on the tires and im trying it out, even though there a little stretched, it still looks a tad off. yea after i order my drift rims im getting spacers for the works -3 up front and either -3 or -8 rear

thanks, that must be what my car is doing... is this going to cause a problem or should i be worried? it sounds horrible. is hacking the firewall the only way to fix this other than raising the car?
