No I'll never go panda. It just doesnt look right. Besides the wheels are gettin finished taffeta white anyways. And the roof will get a new GLOSS black coat. And yes, front and rear bumpers are getting re sprayed, which means fixed and mounted better as well.

People do it to fit the tire under the fender when they're really low or going for a nice stance. There's no performance gain at all.

yeah like mike said. essentially i could run a wide tire like a 245 or 255 but i would have to ride an about 2 inches higher. And it would be a little more of a monster truck that im looking for. the reason ive done what i done is because i like the look of the wider wheel that gives the fender a more full look rather than have my wheel sunken into the fender.

and because its badazzz yo!

It looks tacky and half-assed imo. to me that would be one of the first things people would spot on your car.

the first thing people spot on cindy crawford is the mole! this is my mole hahah. im just kidding i know it looks bad. truth is my mount holes are shredded to shit. and im hesitant drill more haha. which im not really that worried about, its more just about finding the time to tackle the situation. any free time i have usually goes to another part of the car haha

If you drill, mount it from the bottom. So it looks better.

Oh my gawwwddd so much bettter in white! But the car still needs some polishing, like the holes for the emblem in the trunk and the rear lip, and that horrendously mounted front plate LOL. But still epic nonetheless my friend.
