Nice man...not the biggest fan of rivots, but they don't look too bad. Your stance is perfect.

You have 275's on bullitts in the front? How's your turning radius? I couldn't even get 265's on the front of mine without them slamming the sway bar, and the guy I had mounting them was suggesting that he's seen people rip their fenders off making hard turns with a tire that big on that offset rim up front.

Thanks guys! i appreciate all the comments. I still have full turning radius. I havent had any problems with rubbing anywhere. They are Eagle F1's. And I believe with the way that those 17X9 bullitts are backspaced you shouldnt really have any problems with rubbing.

To ARdoller: what size are your rims in the front??

245's on a 17x9. I would have gone with 255's but I couldn't find a brand in my price range at the time that had 255's in stock. I was caught on the spot replacing my fronts, otherwise I would have used 255's.

Did you have to do any modding to get 315's to fit in the rear? I'm going to have 285's on my 18x10's.. I read too often that you had to change some things for anything bigger. Your car looks sweet! I dig the wheels, I almost got Anthracite, but I ordered black instead.

You probably don't have quad shocks then.

I do have the quads, and they are not flipped either. Was running a BFG Drag Radial. Guess im lucky?

Haha thanks guys! I didnt have to do any modifcations to get those wheels to fit. I just threw them on there and everything came together just fine!

You might measure your amount of backspacing. What kind of rims are you running?
