What kind of tires are you using? Mines are also 255's and don't sit on the rim anything like yours. Mines are really stretched.

(sorry maybe you posted this but there's quite a few pages)

255/35 20 kumho ecsta . If it's a same size it should look about the same unless your rim is wider. I'm running 10.5 what about you?

Just saw your thread you should of went with 35 not 30 in the rear if you don't like that stretch. Puts more meat on the rim

Just went through your thread here! Nice job! Your car looks quite classy and very tastefully done. Keep the class, so many people go overboard and it begins to look tacky. I will say this, I dont like lowered cars really at all, yours I like!!

Just read through each page of this thread. Really fun seeing the transformation this car has gone through. Glad you went with the vossens and not the niches, looks excellent. Great build man, such a classy look.

Sounds good, have you ever thought about some kind of protection for the sub? I made a plywood box that fit over mine, 1/2" plywood and I would cover the sub if I needed to transport something that could damage it.

Looking to paint my Vossens.

Mine are currently polished and I'm looking for a reputable local shop to get them done in gold. Something different for this year. Thoughts?

I like them the way they are currently better than gold, but I'm more conservative I guess. Great looking car by the way! If I ever end up in a 4G, I'd certainly use what you've done as an example!

This is one of the best threads on this forum.

Grigio4G : amazing job buddy. Beautiful car.

What colour temperature bulbs did you use for your parking lights? I need help. I want to remove the yellowish light for parking and fogs and put natural white. But something to not overtake my HID.

thanks
