So which do you have a Porsche or a Lotus?






Nightwolf you need to get some bigger/wider tires on there now to fill out the fender flares! They look good tho nice job on the install.

Naw Rex only one furrin car. Two vetts, two blazers and a 1974 chevette! The furrin car is a 1934 fiat topilino. Ferraris, Rolexes and fake ***** dont impress.

Thanks Rex! The 31s looked good until I installed the flares. Now they look tiny so I'm gonna pick up some 33s and then 3.73 gears. I just installed some 2" spacers in the rear the other day and it makes it look much better since they aren't inset an insane amount now.

you're not going to fit 33's without more lift and a lot of cutting on those flares you just installed.


Get some 2wd wheels to bring the tires out more and it'll look a lot better.

Wow I didn't realize those were 31s! Like Jam said you won't fit 33s without cutting up that hard work you just did. I'd take his suggestion on getting some wheels with less offset to push them out more and fill the space that way. Also a more aggressive tire will look more appropriate and appear to fill the space better as well.

Lets see bout this. 31 inch tires had to lift it up and cut the back of the front fender. Then put fender flares on, now you need 33" so you can raise it some more but will put less back space wheels to help the clearance. I might be just a soCA boy but it seems at some point wont you need to turn the steering wheel.

Yea they're everywhere up here. And LeWhite I only had to do 2" shackles and a torsion crank to fit the 31s no trimming at all and there's only a slight rub at full lock but I've never had any problems getting around anywhere with them. But maybe I'll look at some 2wd rims for some better spacing

Your town is the reason the supply and demand has gone off the chain around here. I'm going have city council talk to your city council and get them back. Saw an ad from a Beverly Hills gardener for his S10 extended bed for $5.5k.
