Thanks for the comments, yes the whole car needs to be dropped never really did like the stock height look. Body will be hugging the tires when I'm done.

So what all modifications did you have to make to get them to fit?

Thanks AVGI.....Red ...you don't have to modify at all you just have to have a backspace of no more than 5" 4.75 is better. I used 255/35ZR-20's and that will make sure that the tire and wheel combo is just slightly larger than stock 15's ...about .75 larger.

That looks awesome :-) nice job. That is the look I'm going for. But when I'm done with this car it will look more like this
