As wide as your mom’s ***? Maybe not that wide, butpretty damn wide. Try 18x13 rear running 295/35/18 and 18x10.5 frontwith 245/40/18 tires, now that’s a lot of rubber...

Those pics are still around! Nice looking car!

I see the pics have been cut to remove the original author of the photos.Pics are years old repost.The car is extremely clean, but the fitment looks bad. It's just too much for practical driving. Does it look nice in pictures and at car shows. Sure, if that's what you like.

It's not a track car and it's not a commuter car.What purpose does it serve?

I still adore the photos though. A couple years ago, somebody posted the original fullsize photos and they're brilliant! The setting, the lighting nearing sunset and the car's contrast with background are nice.

they are great pics. I just chopped them from jtuned.com so that they'd fita 640 image size as I hate when people post huge pics (I'm on dial up).

The original images are of course on the link to jtuned.com which I provided.

there's a pic on there of him doing a burnout...which is amazing that he's generating enough power to spin those 18x13's. here, I'll post it, then maybe a couple people will click the link

anyways, the sizing is impractical and beyond ridiculous...but you have toadmire a guy who wants big wheels that bad

by the way, sorry for the repost... gosh I'm such a nooB

wheels arent my style, for same reason smith said...widest id probably go would be 9f 10r if i wanted wheels for looks

and with the look, i agree, needs overfenders, and an r32 grille too

not really suprising when you realise that grip is a fucntion of compound, tread design (void ratio mostly), and contact pathc..and not width (directly)

just thought I'd bring that back to earth a bit :p

As smith said "show car hot" sure, but that's not even road-race/track logical at those widths.

-Chet(side note, I like the two-peice design of those wheels..)
