wow, that's insane... good job, lots of grip and some pretty kick ass looks too. What's the interior looking like?

Interior looks like this, sorry its a bit of a mess, its still not all quite together. Note that the car started out with a red interior and I did a complete interior swap.

I was going to say, with a body that wide, those 315s just don't look big enough :)

I really want to see a rear picture of the tires installed!

Personally, I think it's a little wide for my tastes, but it does look very well done.

Finished product will look similar to this, but my car is a bit wider in the front.

9.5" wide front wheels? That will make it a bit tricky turning won't it?

That picture reminds me of an aircraft from space movies.

That being said, I quite like it and definitely AWESOME work.

A little to wide for my tastes but I can definitly appreciate all the hard work put into it. I am anxiously awaiting more pictures:thumbsup:

Yes thats a turbo oil filter. I noticed after I took that picture a long time ago that the one tire was backwards, haha I just didn't really pay alot of attention its just to give you an idea of how much rubber it is. Niether of the tires are mounted in that picture, and as you can see the rear is jacked up.

The rims arrived today! Pure sex!
Im going to mount my front tires on them tomorrow and take measurements for spacers!

Also for all the comments on how its too wide, yeah its huge... But at the same time, thats the whole point of a widebody. IMO its meant as being more of a performance modification, but at the same time it also changes the look of the car.

Im shooting for 400-450 RWHP, and I just plain on don't think the stock 205's on 13" rims would keep up haha...
