That car looks pretty sick with the stance/rake and filled up wheel wells.
However, a couple things I'm noticing about the functionality of that setup:
1. It doesn't look like there's much or enough room for suspension travel before the tires would rub, especially in the rear.
2. The front tires appear too wide for the wheels. Looking on Tire Rack's website, those tires call for a 5.5-7" wide wheel. I don't know for sure what problems that would actually cause, but a good rule of thumb for wheels is taking tread width (not section width) plus or minus 1 inch for a "safe" wheel width range.
Again, the car definitely looks good like that though.

As far as the stance goes, I run a tire that is 2" wider than his, and when i launch the tire goes VERY deep into the wheelwell, but it does't contact anywhere. If you properly "prep" your wheelwell, it will be fine. I removed bumpstops and rolled the fenders.
Bump for a great looking car!

Yea its pretty low, and for the rims it was 630 shipped with lugs/washer and stems! Good Deal
Thanks!
Thanks And DO it! aha
Thanks Man,
And yes there isnt that much room for suspension travel but theres actually more than you would think.. The stock tubs are pretty tall/big.. But i am going to get them rolled soon to help out with that.
And yea the 195 isnt the best for that rim but theres tons of people running them on 5" rims and its fine, but they actually look good on the 3.75" rims.. They buldge out alittle but not Alot.. I personally think it looks sweet.
The main reason i ran a 195 is becuase its a street car and the wider tire makes it much better for turning Ect...
Thanks!

I agree with #2, but if they work, more power to him. My sportsman S/R's were 175 a piece so if he can run cheaper tires; i'm jealous lol.

And yea we ended up cutting the bump stops in half just to be safe and i will have the wheel wells rolled soon..
Oh and i wanted to run the 295 like yours for the rear but i picked up the 275/60s for 100 bucks in good condition
And Thanks Man!
