Please don't do fender flares or widebody.
Quoted for truth.

Please no... just get some normal tires that fit, paint the entire car one normal color and drive it. lol

10.5" wide wheels? Geebus. I will admit I'm looking at similar widths but that's because I'm rear wheel drive and need the widest stickiest tire I can get in back. But for awd, geebus I'd think a 9" wide wheel with some decent tires (like r888's or NT01's) would be all you need, ever.

I agree, 10.5 is too wide. You can fit some decently wide tires on 9" wide wheels.

Road racing - I guess there could be such a thing as to wide.

But hell Andrew and john both stepped up to 12" wide tires.

The talon above is just 1 picture of several SCCA dsms running 10 to 10.5 tires.

Here's another running 17x10 with 275's.... and a reference for how it would look with out fender flares, which I don't care for personally

But I'll also give you 17x9+35 doesn't look to bad also with a 255.

1 more 17x9 +35 for good measure

That to me looks good, and in the end would be less work.

In other news.. currently having issues with carbonetics.

Not sure if it's a ploy to bid time for buidling my order (as most people say it takes forever...I'm 2.5 months past promise date already heading into 3rd month)

But latest message he sent was that my hood and diffuser are packaged and waiting to be shipped justo need the shipping cost sent...
So I respond with this...message saying I already paid you the final payment when you said they were done... Haven't heard back yet after I sent a screen shot of our coversation and my paypal account info..

Total cost was $970

He asked for:
$300 deposit to start project
$670 when it was ready to ship
