Just now getting around to posting the finished pics! I had to make a change with the wheels.They stuck out a little to far in the lowered stance position making it hard to get the body on and the tires were right up against the fenders.Went with the stock wheels and they look good.

I actually like the stock wheels/hubcaps, gives it a bit of a sleeper look.

I hear you about not being especially happy about the wheels not fitting. I do agree that it gives the car a cool sleeper look though.

Turned out real cool Leon. It might help for the future but when I have rims that are a touch wide, I thin out the inside of the wheels arches with a file or sand paper to give a little more space. On modern cars its about the first thing I do so the wheels sit right. I suppose its similar to rolli ng your arches on a 1/1 car
