I hate the look of stretched tires. I prefer them flush or buldged just a little to help protect from curbing.

Jon, whats up with the gauges in your sig pic? The temp gauge is moving like the car doesnt have a radiator, and the gas gauge is moving like it has VTAK.


And the e-brake is still on lol

Well, I wouldnt call my car a 'performance car' but when I do go to the track I will have the 14x5.5 that are on it now with size-matched tires. But for the daily driving/showing when I want it to look its best I will have another set of rims with stretched tires.

the gauges full sweep when you turn the car to accessory.

heres a video, I just snapped a picture while it was sweeping.
