Default "new" wheels on the bird
These are the old wheels form the 4th gen with 1 1/4" spacers. Out back are 18x9 with some 40 275's bfg's with a 2" dish, in front they are 18x8 and 40 245's with abou 1" dish. Tell me what you guys think. I'll take some other pix in the day. Next is my bassani exhaust, I'm gonna try and make it fit if its not too much work, if not I'm just gonna sell it, I've decided on just keeping this doing an lsx/t56 swap and a good brake set up and calling it a day!

I really dig that look..it's nice to see something different than the typical 5-spoke design every once in a while.

Your car is coming along very very nicely. I wouldnt change a thing appearance wise.
