What size are your rear wheels/tires? Reason I ask is that my buddy Mike (illmac77) just got 505a's and he's pretty sure his rears are 19x11.5s vs. 19x11 that they "normally" come with.

My classics are 18x11 rear and are dead flush w/ the body panels and I still have my rear ducts. His wheels stick out maybe 1/4" and he still has his ducts too.

Thanks,
Brian


PS they look awesome.

It's amazing how much a difference a set of wheels can make. Nice!

Hey Brian,

I'm pretty sure they're 19x11.5 out back, and 19x10 front. Yep, still have the rear ducts also

something looks weird with the rear wheels and those decals on the hood look extremely tacky. I'm usually a big fan of these wheels though.
I can only imagine how much tackier it'll look with a front spoiler
just my opinion of course
