Stock for your car was 4.5" -- maybe the rims you > have are 5.5"? 5.5" - and they were custom built by Centerline (ie - "no return"). Man, i'm dying here... I just talked to a body shop about having the fender lip cut off for extra clearance and having the fenders re-sprayed... (there's just no emoticon to describe how I'm feeling now). The first step is I'm gonna have the FLATS (friendly local auto tire store!) mount some 195-50-15's on those rims and see just how ugly they get with the sidewalls collapsed that far. I *don't* want to go back to 165's!!! I also don't want to raise the rear... but... drastic times calls for drastic measures. T o M
