    hehe the tire is recommended for a 5 to 5.5" rim.

    I reckon it looks sweet as, the stretch on the rear lets it have poke while still tucking the tire without scrubbing. The fronts are just the right offset and everything is the right size to get heeps lowz.

    Epic stretch...

    Looks like the tire in that picture says 165/50 not 165/55 ?

    Keen to see them on the car.
