absolutely sweet rear tires. is there enough clearance for suspension travel?

front wheels have 5 lugs. could be a hint to switch to turbo ][ front brakes!!!!!!!!!!!!! dual pistons and big rotors.

Not enough If I want to drop the car, but my fiberglass guy says it's very easy to widen out the rear flares so the tires tuck inside. The proble about dropping the car is, that I already have problems clearing stuff in the front(Driveways, parking blocks,) so if i drop it, I'm going to be tearing off the front bumper once a week.

I though about the turbo2 setup, but that's going to have to wait until I buy a house. She needs a Garage now!!

I told them I needed them by the 29th so If all goes well, I'll bring it to the homestead meet.

They said they're very sorry and that I'll have them back in two weeks.

I sent them back on Sat.

Absolutely scrumtrolescent.

I can't believe they sent the wrong pattern. You only paid more than i make in a year for them (not really but it sounds better).

At least they are fixing it.

God damn i can't wait man!!!!
