If anyone can beat my wheel gap, I am acception challenges. What drop would make this look better? 1 inch wouldn't do jack ****, 2 inch? 3 =\ ?

Also can anyone photoshop the spokes black and leave the lip polished? I might want to paint them.

What the hell is wrong with that thing? (oops, sorry toahk - did I say that out loud?)

Are those 14's? Brotha, you need something to FILL that wheelwell - a drop ain't gonna cut it.

I'd say 2" will get you to looking "stock", 3" will make it acceptable appearance-wise....

Yup you probably will be better off going a little bigger because just dropping the car won't make it look any better.

good lord.....that is some major gap! LOL....sorry....i would suggest uping the rim size and a 2 inch drop........if you need to stick with those rims....then a taller profile tire and the same drop. but could you measure that? looks like 6-7 inches of gap....

LOL, don't wanna sound mean but thats like a 16 finger gap haha. I'd go with at least a 16 inch rim, and then drop it. Those rims look like 14's, maybe even 13's.

no I tuck 15"s all day. Its funny your car looks like mine with out an engine an transmission. Looks like its about to take off. Ok but get some 60 series tires than sportlines will do just fine. They will tuck a little. I want to go lower some im probally gonna get some coilovers for 3"+ drop. O yea with sportlines ull need a small jack just to jack it up enough to fit a good jack under haha. An beware of speed bumps!
