car looks good but I agree that the mirrors really throw off the smooth lines of the car.

Funny that you should mention that. He does like in the United Kingdom, where LHD is probably a rare occurance.

you should post the specs on the rim widths, tires etc.

I"m running 17x10 CCW with 255/40/17 all around on my FD.

Isn't 255 pretty skinny for a 10" wheel? I am going to run 265's on my 17x9's (rear).

Really nice car!!! Love the hood!! Not a big fan of the mirrors, but the only one who needs to love the way your car looks is you. If you dig it the those are the best mirrors ever!

I wanted to keep the same size on all 4 positions, so I didn't wanna go to 265 on the fronts because I was worried they'd rub. Ideally I woulda gone with a 9 inch wide rim, but the 10 inchers came along at a good price used.

That's because they're the wrong size. Those are a full INCH too tall! I don't understand why people buy tires without even knowing what they are doing!

Proper tire ratio in that width would be 35.....245/35 18.

I run 245-40-18 in the front and mine don't rub. I did roll the fenders and replaced that big square screw on top of the fender wall with a flat screw. My car is also lowered with eibachs.
