Looks like good work but I have to ask, why run a wide body it if you arent gonna maximise the space to fill it in with an even wider tire. Would there e no benefit to that?

Now that's some serious sizes. You may loose some top speed and acceleration though. I noticed it when using 17" or 18" wheels

I remember you posting about this a long time ago. The wide body looks good. Line up the front and rear bumpers with the wide arches and it's would look AMAZING! Do you have plans to modify the bumpers to match the wide body?
