the top edge of the tire doesnt stick out, but the bubbled up part of the sidewall does. its the wheel backspacing (the rear was purchased in 91, so i dont think it could even be a fourth gen rear). but yea, i wanna get some weld prostars with correct backspacing for it instead, but wheels are far from the top of my list.

well im redoing the paint soon. probably just reclear it where its nice and fix the dents and the passenger door skin. anywho, i was thinking of removing the door guards too, but its a daily driver. oh yea, and the reason im doing the paint is cause im graduating this year, and im in an auto body/refinishing class and if i dont take advantage of it now, ill never get the chance again. i like the wheels when theyre all clean, theyre probably my favorites along with prostars. do you have any pics of gunmetal camaros with tints? im dying to see how it looks cause i was thinking of doing that at school while i have the chance. thanks a lot guys.

looks good man i would say clear sidemarkers, tint the windows (i did mine 20%, and like it alot) maybe lower it a little, and some wheels if you want an entirely different look i think hyperblack zr1's would look good on there but those look pretty good.

yea, those are appealing. but that would mean new tires too. plus i kinda like the ops look it gives it (not fully, but just a touch of it). i wanna get clears too, just havent gotten around to it.

17s would look like crap cause ur car is so jacked up...a drag look would be more ideal. The wheels look too outdated now, just like truck style. I like ur car a lot, i love the color just the jacked up look and rims arent cutting it. Clear sidemarkers and tint. These cars need tint, the hatch doesnt look right looking into the interior so much. Also ull save the fading interior process for many more years if its already not faded.

Good lookin car, ill see it soon enough again.

Also red tail light mod

i hate amber. lol

yea, but i like the stance im getting. you think it would look nicer with weld prostarts with the proper backspacing to tuck nicely and keep the 275s...i mean, tunedport335 (or something like that) pulled off the look wonderfully. plus then i dont need new tires or springs/shocks.

i put some on, but realized how dirty the tires were in the first place so it didnt stick in most places, and i just wiped off the rest.

there arent any spacers, i think the backspacing on them is just wrong or something. if it were up to me theyd be in about another inch, but wht can i do now? thanks for the kind words.
