I'm not hating, I think yours looks good. I wanted wider tires thats why i went with a 12" rim, but didnt it want to poke way out thats why I went with the tub.

If I were you i'd get fender flares and run the proper size tire for a 12" rim.

Are your wheel centers black or are they missing?

Race versions are machined not to accept center caps, they do not come with center caps.

I would agree with you if the tires were the right size.

Dayumn! Mine are stretched too but NOT that stretched. Bought the car that way so they stay until I wear them the **** out. 285 on 12" but once done 295 or 305 will be used. Front shown here is a 255 on 10" wheel. 265 will replace it.

HAHA well dont put a 295 like i did, or you'll get flammed ^^LOL

But for the front the 265 is perfect.
when will you try that 305? i still need to see if it will even clear.

At the current rate the way that I drive it'll be two yrs before I have a larger set tires on. Hopefully I'm on the dyno fri-sat so I can really see how much space I have under there to see if a 295 would even clear. If not, then that means flares will be required and I'm thinking TPE's? Think I got that right, as I don't like the L5's.

You should be ok with 295's, but your car is lower than mine tho.
