1stgenracer and i think alike lol. i would also like my car to have a wide stance in the back. I love that wide muscle-ish look it gives the car, but im using the same height rim, just 9 maybe 10 wide in the back and 8 in the front. Does anybody know the widest tire size i can use for the rear without having to roll the lip?...i do have eibach lowering springs on the car and keep in mind ill have a fourth gen rear, so ill have 1-2 inches wider stance then normal.
