I personally like the look -- makes it "meaner". Just be sure that your rear coil springs & shocks are good because if they're really worn out you run the risk of bottoming out the tire on the fender lip. That's the reason I didn't drop my car when I redid the suspension...and then I bought a 3th gen rear anyway. Whatever...

Just plain ugly...I was on my scooter (harley) one afternoon at a stop sign. Dude in pick up went through the intersectioin and gave me the finger. Later when I was home mentioned it to the wife...she asked what was he driving? One of those pick ups with the tires sticking out bout a foot n a half. She said he saw the look on your face. Is it that obvious when I see on of those? She said oh yeah...impossible to miss the total disgust.

Do you mean a dually truck with the four tires on the rear axle or was it just a total abortion of a rim-job (hehe...look what I said...). I only like the rear tires sticking out the 2" or so on each side because it kind of projects an illusion similar to a drag car.

I wanna put in a 4th gen but the wheels stick out...i'd be fine with that, but then that means i can't go any lower right?? Like with the eibach pro kit?

what about trying front wheels on the back... i know the iroc wheels are different offset up front, and the front wheels might tuck in abit more. i think the look is ok.
