Hei! Cool! Those are the J82 wheels/tires on the front?

Would it be possible for you to take two photos from the same position with before/after showing the stock size wheels mounted on the car followed by the large? Either way, glad it worked out for you ;) Let us know how it drives :D

Yes-- the J82 fronts & Proline SandPaws on the rear.

I can do that. Do you want the OEM rear tires on as well?

It might not be bad to see the full OEM compared to the full mod set-up. No big hurry. Just would be curious to see the difference side by side.

Thanks...and have fun!

Good idea! I've already stretched the car out as far as it can possibly go - but I hadn't considered adjusting the camber. I'll definitely give that a shot before running the car again. Thanks for the tip!
