I'm thinking about downsizing on the width of the rear tires to a 15" wide tire instead of an 18.5....

Anyone think it will majorly detract from the look?

Thats not really much of a change and either way it is still going to have to same look . But if you were going down to a 12" that would really change the look.
 
If you change to a 15" tire it's gonna make it look plain like a Saturn or 90's Bonneville. :rolleyes: <-SARCASM! A 15" might even look better? It's still gonna be a wild ride.
 
I agree, the 15 will still look good....

what the heck is all that white stuff and when did you take that shot????
 
I'd say get one and pull a tire off, roll the smaller one up to the car and see what it looks like. Personally, the car seems to be built for a fat tire, not that 15" isn't fat. But I like the extreme look you have now.




A fer the white stuff, either he lives in a boarder state to Mexico and that's left over Cochin from the last drug smuggle gone bad, or its natures AC :D

Was over winter, one of the couple shots I have of it when its outside...

Thanks for the comments fellas... I think I might take some measurements and see what I think about it being narrower in width...
 
I had a bite on the rims and tires, so was thinking about getting the wheels I want, but a little narrower in the rear...

But for now, looks like I'll be keeping the wheels and tires I have...
