Really nice dude, i'm totally digging your wheels, what setup are you running wheel/tire?

Got the cabby mostly finished for now (cough 16v cough cough). Pictures courtesy of my buddy Ian at Lowered Lifestyle and my cell phone. Opinions welcome (hood vinyl is temporary until i can afford a respray).

Thanks man. Running 15x8 et10 all around with 165/50's. No spacers. Just lots of fender trimming

Cool dude I just saw your other post, I've been thinking about getting those for sometime now I think you helped me make up my mind, now I'm just wondering how come you went with 50's and not 45's for the tires? Would 45's help the fitment issues a bit?

They would help but not enough to let you do any less work. I went with 50's because they were only $65 a tire and a bigger sidewall allows for a little but smoother ride. Either way you will need to cut and pull the front fenders and them trim the flares and use adhesive to put them back on. The rears i just rolled and trimmed the flares.

Haha i think the hood is different and i wanted to try my hand at vinyl so i figured why not cover up the trashy looking flat black hood that the PO slapped on there (and got overspray all over the front end). Here's some pics for you. My girlfriend is a graphic designer so i had her draw this up and i just took it to a sign shop and they printed it on some nice vinyl for me (and forgot to charge me haha).
