turbo flares molded to the body would look good.

I should have waited on the wheels I can't find cheap barrels or lips to shorten up the rear. Might have to sell these and look for something new. I wonder if I pulled the fenders and cut/welded if it would ever look ok..... I hate the over embossing fenders and mexiflush.

input?

If you wanted to get crazy you could tub it, and narrow the suspension a bit...

Guess that would only work if the wheels were staggered.

I'm at my limit for going in. It would be extensive to shorten the suspension.
Hits on the red marks without a small spacer.

with spacer


I'm trying to keep it metal. I would rather pull cut and weld. I wish I could find a vide DIY to help me figure it out.

17x8.5 +16 with a 75mm lip, rear are 17x10 +9 with 100mm lip. These little cars are just not made to have decent wheels

I might cut off the tires on the rear and see what it looks like with just the rim. Give me a better idea of what its going to take to fit it.

don't tell me that! I'm trying so hard to make them work. I can't find any 16" wheels that I like or even 15's. The offsets are awkward on this thing.

These seem to be one of my options. Not a huge fan, but they are at least decent.



too bad its +38 for 16x8 and 16x7 is +43

20mm spacer in the rear and 10mm in the front. What do you guys think?
