Did you get new "tires" or "wheels"? If you got new tires, what did you have before, and what do you have now? What are the specs of your new tires as compared to the old ones?

If you got new rims, were you riding on stockies before? If not, what did you switch from? Also, specs on your current/previous wheels?

Why??

The stance looks horrible in the rear.

Excessive width + bad offset + stretched tires = not good in my book.

But that's just my personal opinion.

I know, lol. That sounded like an interrogation. Sorry, OP. I just wanted to know the backstory.

Word, more camber and more drop, definately a massive improvement over the old tires though. Oh and remove the Tein sticker it looks way tacky.

I wish I could say yes to that, but not exactly. My parents have a condo across the street that used to be my grandparents. I'm from Jersey, but we go down a couple times a year. I recognized the wall and sidewalk immediately because it was a fairly recent addition to the boardwalk there. Maybe next time I'm in town, I'll see your ride around.

Once again, great shots, mods, and backdrop!
