Nice build. But if I can give my two cents, you really should have stayed with the same height of tire. I originally went with a 35 tall (front) 30 (rear) tire and it turned out horrible. I was told the the higher profile tire would rake up the rear...didn't, just looked like a$$. Might not be the same for you.

Cool build man! I've always wanted to do this with an Iroc! I really wish I had a shop the size of yours! I love doing stuff myself but I have no room. I painted my previous 99 Camaro myself, I wish I had the space to paint my T/A myself!

Well I checked the over dimensions. The front tires over all are .5" shorter than the rear. The rear is 26" with a 19" wheel that 3.5 inch sidewall. The front is right at 25.5" with a 18" wheel that is 3.75" side wall. I dont think the 1/4" difference will be noticable to the eye.

Your measurements sound good. You should be fine. Takes some pics once you get those on. Those wheels look good.

At first I saw the little fixes and wheels and was wondering why you made a build thread for that... then I got to the full on body work... awesome.

It was my daily drive at the time I started the thread on tgo. Then the trans went out. And I thought I better paint it while its down or it will never get painted. And it all snowballed really quickly from there.
