There's no tire shop around here that would mount those tires. They're way to narrow for the rims. The car looks nice but the tires put it in the toilet. :wacko:

Gotta agree with Blarneyman. I like the flares and the shave but that is the worst tire and wheel combo I have ever seen. i know that tire style is big in Europe with the early watercooled crowd but I don't get it. Where did you find those pics Jag? That almost looks like a VolksRods.com sticker on the back glass but I don't think it is. I'm also not feeling those tail lights either. Some earlier bug tail lights or some Cadillac bullets frenched in would suit the rest of the body work better.

there are a few. I've had a few sets done for my watercooleds. i think its a great look. no different than stretching your 135's over 5\" wide rims.

I wouldn't do that either. Don't really like the small tire look. Low profiles on 17s would be the way to go for me. If you can't turn then do something to the fenders or don't go so low. IMO B)

Im sure thats not his daily ride height. im ussually not a fan of full custom cars. i like them restored or mild in the body work area.

the car looks awesome, i think cadillac taillights would kill the look. it would make it look back dated, to 80s.

Woah, that paint looks wet.

dumbass is more like it.

dont get me wrong here, i'm all for a nicely lowered acvw with some negative camber in the back, but that contraption is extremely unsafe and is an accident waiting to happen.

same goes for some of the kcw rides. i dig their work, but burning the paint off your fenders and the tread off your tires is not cool.

these cars should not be on the road.

just my 2 cents.
