did some work to the car. the body kit, as seen myfree7's pics, uses the SA bumpers. being that i don't have those and it's pretty hard to find since no one responded to my wtb thread, i decided to see if i could make the existing fb front bumper work. here's the end product:

don't remember the tire sizes and i sold the car earlier this year... why? i have no damn clue, but i have a new 7 and i will be doing the same body kit!
you can find the SA front bumper pretty easy. just have to look for them have you ever tried apexautoparts.net? they had one on there the last time i was on and i've seen several SA's being parted out as well. you can as you've done make the FB front bumper work

Just asking to find out tires that could be run for that wide of a wheel. What I found is a 265/50/15 for the rear and 215/60/15 for the front. Using ur offset numbers, I'd be looking for rims with around a 2" backspace for both front and rear (15x8 and 15x10 respectively).

ya that sounds about right... this time when i do it i'm gonna go with a 15x14 in the back and run the bfgoodrich drag radial because they make a matching front tire rear is 325 and front it 215

Id look into going with 17s simply due to tire availability.
I had some Porsche wheels that where 16x10 and 16x12. Had a hard time selling them since the only tires available where race tires.

15 and 17in rims are easy to find a matching set of tires for wide and standard with rims... especially for the big difference between the wheels i was running on my car

i had the same gauges, but i put them in the climate control holes. i set it up so that the heat and blower speed were set on high so if my windows ever got foggy i just had to flip a switch and clear it up.
blower switch, push button start and g-timer

great idea. my car didn't have a radio so i wanted to use that space somehow. would be nice to have a few more gauges such as oil temp and wideband to fill the panel more though.
still trying to find a solution to the gas fill neck problem from the widebody fender to the tank. i can't find a flexible hose that has enough flex to do about a 75 degree turn in the tight space. may end up using a 90 degree bend hose. we'll see...still searching.

I like how you mounted the gauges.
Did you see these wheels for sale?
Thirteens might be too small for your car. They sure are wide enough.

i've used the radiator hose for fuel before and it works fine... it doesn't eat through at all and it's cheap!
they no longer make good street tires for 13's. there is only 2 companies that make tires for a 13in rim and the widest one is only 205 so it wouldn't work
