mean... ha ha yea... havin alot of fun right now makin her pretty n sum other dirty lil things

jbfoco - 18x9.5 +22 all around.. plenty for 265's & all same offset so i can rotate from front to rear tires... gonna put front spacers on but this set up will create some more track-out in the rear to control over steer at tad bit more... but overall the car will have a wider track.

thx jalal!

o jeez.. its been a while now since I was drivin the car... the spool is insane though for the power the turbo makes on the 2.2... my tuner is an old skool JUN guy with lots of turbo knowledge & he is amazed by this turbo. but when we tune the car i'll make a point to look & see

The fender itself isn't actually flared, it is the stock contour. The body was cut and widened in a few places. I wanted it to appear as it was the factory body with an aggressive offset and 275's with room to go
I'm sure your setup will look good, your car is always looking slick
