Looks sweet. Are you planning on dropping or leaving it stock? The tires do look pretty big.

well dropping will have to wait until these tires wear out because they would rub the fenders and rear quarters. the rears only have about 2 fingers gap right now. i could drop the front though. i don't feel like buying smaller tires right now either lol. these have another 8k on them or so. 8k will last me another year so dropping will be next year. plus i'm putting my snow tires on the stock wheels for the winter. also if anybody needs a set of 16" tires i got a set with only 6k on them and i rotated them at 4k. they're the stock size presidental le. 150+shipping or pickup

Good plan & the car looks much better.I'm running and have ran a few sets of 225's on 7.5' & 9' rims and they've worked out well. I think you can run 235's tops with a sports drop.

Yeah, that's a good plan, use these tires till winter, save for a drop next year and then you're set. I'm also running 225's and they work well. It only rubs if I am turning and hit a big bump too fast, it rarely happens.

no rolling the fenders won't help. i used 6mm spacers in the rear and the tire sticks out of the fender like 2mm. you'll need custom body work. not worth it IMO. you gonna get HIDs anytime soon?
