I am adding the SOHC front lip

Rey.. I love it!

Those are the first set of Sport Max's that don't stick out too far past the fenders... Are those regular fenders? Did you roll them a little? How did you make that work.

Most of those wheels look stupid because they stick out to far. Are the 18's a better offest than the 17's?

What suspension are you running? How do those wheels clear the brakes and/or coilovers?

Thanks for the compliment

the rear quaters ARE rolled. I used a fender roller nice and easy and made JUST the right amount of push where the 255's fit good.

The front fenders are not rolled. People usually get 18x7.5 for the front but I went 8.5 with no probs with the 225

I am running JDM ApexI lowering springs on stock shocks. My coilover setup is going to be slapped on my s13-Truck conversion.

the 18's clear the brakes with plenty of space
