I realize that tire stretching is a love hate relationship between people, so I understand that some people aren't gonnanlike nor agree with it. I used to not like and still not a fan of the huge stretch where there is like 1-2" of wheel sticking out. I understand that I will be loosing some handling on the car due to lower amount of tire contact and I'm ok with that because I know I'm not going to be racing the car through canyons. So, I know some people are gonna are it and that's you right to voice that opinion.

Anyways, thanks for checking out my thread. LOTS of parts coming in today.
I'm not trying to be mean, but the stretched look is usually accompanied by wheels that need stretched tires to fit (wide,low offset) and your wheels don't seem to be that way.

It's your car and all, but it just seems odd.

There is absolutely no love/hate relationship with 8" rims with 215 tires... It is str8 up hate.

It's one thing to have stretch because you need it, it's another thing to have it because you don't understand where the stretch scene came from.

Otherwise nice car... until it looks awkward on that tire/rim combo.

Are you going to keep the paint Spa Yellow? I was wondering why you chose the GPW front spoiler lip.



Is there any reason you bought the rear middle piece as well?

Why do u need the fender liners ? Are they essentials ?

I planed to upgrade my ap1 to ap2 front end. and I wanted to do it properly.
because I don't want any zip-tie fix underneath .

theres something about the ap1 fender liners not being long enough so you have to get the ap2 fender liners from what I read on s2kca.com
Plus mine were also damaged so i had to have them anyways.
