the hood is sanded awaiting polishing, I gave it a quickie polish, have to go at it some more.



cant wait to get the front bumper back on, I have some work to do up there before I can put it back on, hopefully by the end of next week.

if I bought them I would have bought wider, but being that I got them new old stock I had to make do with what I got.



I put 255's in the rear, I think I could have easily went with 265 or even 275, but the rim is only 8" wide.



Got to remember Amp- you can only go so big on FCs, you FD guys have so many more choices when it comes to wide wheels, and you know I aint gonna put wheels on the car thats going to bang up the bodywork.

wheels look good nonetheless... got rid of the fcs but still an fc fan guy.. and fd has the same lug pattern no..

was able to fit 265s on one of the t2s with just a fender lip roll...forgot what offset i was runnin at the time..

make sure you put a layer of wax on those bad boys while they are clean...makes it easier for you later to wipe off the grime thatll get on there..

I got over 2" of up and down clearance, fenders are rolled, and the tire sidewalls are a little rounded, I think I need black lug nuts though

looks awfully close rob.. depending on your suspension setup..the two inch may not even be enough...

realize that most of your weight is in the front..
