Cars a bit dirty, we just had rain but oh well. As you can see by the back fender, there was some adjustments to the sheetmetal to make these work. 235/40/18 up front and 255/35/18 in the rear. I am not happy with the front tires at all, they look to big. I am going to go to a 225 and see if that will give me a slight stretch like the back so the sidewall isn’t so straight. Anyways, here they are, let me know what you think. ![http://njsr.org/pics/albums/userpics/10273/normal_Picture%20031.jpg](http://njsr.org/pics/albums/userpics/10273/normal_Picture%20031.jpg) ![http://njsr.org/pics/albums/userpics/10273/normal_Picture%20035.jpg](http://njsr.org/pics/albums/userpics/10273/normal_Picture%20035.jpg) ![http://njsr.org/pics/albums/userpics/10273/normal_Picture%20032.jpg](http://njsr.org/pics/albums/userpics/10273/normal_Picture%20032.jpg) and the flushness… ![http://njsr.org/pics/albums/userpics/10273/normal_Picture%20034.jpg](http://njsr.org/pics/albums/userpics/10273/normal_Picture%20034.jpg) ---

how did you flare your fenders? Looks nice and smooth from the pics. Love the dish rims! What kind of tires you go with? ---

Actually I did the fenders with two heat guns and a HUGE rubber mallet, and then a smaller mallet for the finishing work. No paint cracking or wrinkling at all. So far everyone that looks at it has been amazed how well it turned out. The rears I rolled, pulled, and flared out. The fronts I rolled and pulled the whole fender out a bit. The tires are Nexen. They were ridiculously cheap for the sizes and I wasn’t totally sure on the sizes yet so I figured I would try them. Now that I already want to change the fronts I am not losing a huge chunk of money. They are z rated and really soft compound as well. Sooo…I guess a fender roller isn’t always needed. ---

Yeah, I want to do that to the rear of mine too. But I am not a body guy, I know very little about body work sadly. ---

Yeah, you can’t beat Nexen, cheapest Z rated tires I’ve ever seen. I think the sizes look fine. They are taller than stock, which should load up the turbo better. ---

I like the 255’s on the back alot but the fronts actually have a taller sidewall and that is really bothering me. If I go to a 225/40/18 instead of the 235/40/18 they will be exactly the same. So if anyone needs some 235’s just let me know. ---

Nice looking wheels, what kind are they? It almost appears that the center is a bit darker than the lip in the first pic, is that just due to the shade or is it hyperblack or soemthing? props! ---

Thanks guys. They are hyper black. Looks awesome when the sun hits them. They are TSW Thruxtons. 18x8 and 18x9.5. +20 offset all around. I got them from a local tire shop in Red Deer but there is like a 2-3 month wait on them in the +20 offset so I have been waiting a while.
