Default Widest Street Tires Contest.

Ok, I loooooove the look of some monsters out back. So I wanted to see some good pics of them steam rollers. I know people are going to show me some super stocker slicks, but what want to see are street tires. Mini-tub, wide-***, street goers. Thanx, now lets see em.

Man that exhaust hangs low man! Did you have to do any sort of machining on the rims to get them to tuck completely under the wheel well?

Ouchburns - No work was done to the wheels to make them sit where they are. They sit almost flush, the pic is just wierd I guess.

As for the exhaust, it is really low. Granted it hardly scrapes, not sure how is doesn't, but I like the look of a lowered car and all the power I can get so.... I needed to what I did. Granted, I now installed a Drive shaft safety loop and it hangs WAY to low, so I'm redoing the TSP duals so they tuck higher and they will be coming out the back.
