    Drop the car a couple inches and they will look fine. Too much space under the fenders as it sits in the pics.

    Is the engine out?

    Nice looking car, overall...(y)

    Yeah, motor and trans are out. Also in the middle of a small bumper swap, so the front valance is gone. The wheels are off my chrysler 300. They also need to be spaced as well. I'm gonna go by my buddies wheel shop and try out some spacers on it. Maybe 1" or so in the rear, and 1 1/4" in the front. im also gonna be doing a disc brake swap soon too, so we'll see how it all comes out. I only planned on using them to roll the car around the back and onto thr trailer to be taken to the shops it needs to see, but after mounting them up, I kinda like em on there. But yeah it HAS to be lowered to look good.

    First think my wife said was "DONK" and I didn't even know she knew what "DONK" was.
    The things these chicks pick up on.:biglaugh:

    I Like the style but think they are too big. But then, I think anything over 15" is too big.
