Pictures of My Beast!!
Here are some pictures of my beast. This is my normal height for my everyday driving. The car does have a slight rake to it, not much.
Do notice that I did get 295's on the rear. All thanks to Jangy. My car has been "JANGIFIED" Wheels are 18 x 9.5 ET33 that I had to shave to an ET37
Notice how the 295's tuck up there nicely.
The Front wheels are the stock 18 x 9 265's that where on the rear of the car.

With the rears this big this baby hooks up like a bat out of HELL!!! Its like the difference between night and day with the wider tires compared to the stock ones. Take this baby through the Santa Cruz mountains and nothing can keep up with her. Its like shes riding on rails.

Very nice ride, Do the rears rub at all? what tires are you running for maximum grip? I went back to stock for the winter and was thinking of going with some wider tires, more like 285's. Any brand you suggest for tires? Looks really good IMO.

Yes it is Topline parking lot. They just got done doing my alignment. Their service is excellent and pricing is in line with everyone else. If you need something just tell Zim that your my freind and you get special pricing.
I have 295 x 30 x 18's Contisport 2. As soon as these wear out in 6 months(Average for my driving) I will be using Michelins PS2's.
Victor cant wait for the rest of the mods. I want her to scream like a bat out of HELL
Thank you Jeffery. Looking forward to meeting you in Vegas.
The rear don't rub at all. With a little rolling of the internal lip(I know..I know...) they fit perfect. As far as tires size it would all depend on the offset you are running. If the offset is 39ET there sould be no problem what so ever. Tire choice for max grip would be PS2's hands down.
Your words are too kind. Looking forward to meeting you also in Vegas buddy.

Did you just get the inner lip rolled? That isn't even that bad. i thought you rolled the inner into the outer and pushed both out but it looks OEM from the outside. you are so impulsive. LOVE IT!! The handling is a world apart is it not? Hooking up with Contis means PS2s will be even better. I'd put money you dropped your 1/4 miles as well, even with the added weight.

Just the inner lip is all it needed. I thought that it would need more, but the 37ET is just a little to big. The 39ET or 40ET would be perfect. The handling is like night and day. It is almost impossible to get the rear to jump out. Maybe i'll just have to push my driving harder to get those PS'2.

Heyyy... I spotted you on Decoto towards 880... I think like a week or two ago 
Just about to post it here and ask... who's driving Dad's E55??
j/k
I thought you got shiny (chrome) aftermarket wheels.... (you were moving that time)... could be my bad eyes... it was around 7/8PM when I saw you.

that looks hot, love what you did with the tires...
the only thing that looks off is the rear looks lower than the front, like you just picked someone up at the airport with big suitcases...
if any end had to be a bit lower, i would say the front rather than the rear, but it still looks good
