Ok so my buddy who's doing my swap fixed my tires too, thank god for this guy ! Gotta say, looks pretty sweet. As for lowering, i'm contemplating it but i'm digging the minimal wheel gap. Also tossed on my rear inlay. If anyone remembers i asked why my GP didn't have the indentation of PONTIAC on the back, well the inlay is eye-balled on, i think i messed up the "A" but other than that it looks good. Also i realized i have a disgusting gap on the driver side where the hood meets the bumper. From my accident last year. Car was just washed also. Input !!





I absolutely LOVE the way the rear wheels stick out. Gives is a lovely wide stance.

what minimal wheel gap? Those gaps are huge dude. You can stick your whole closed fist between the fender and tire there.

Also looks like you have some bad camber on your last photo.

Gap is still big IMO and bigger rims make it more noticeable.

Camber is how much the wheel is angled in or out relative to the strut. It looks like the top of the wheel is angled in much more than the bottom so more weight is on the inside wall of the tire. It will cause uneven wear.

Could just be my eyes though.

Its just your eyes man , angle of the shot. Also my front grills need to be fitted a bit better. I'll be fixing these small imperfections come warmer weather

Now that you have time before spring, get some mothers polish and a 4" and 6" buffing wheel. Take a bolt with 2 washers and a nut through the wheel center & tighten them down making sure to get it centered perfectly. Mount this in your electric drill and now buff away. The high speed works great and better than a powerball which I have also. Once they shine like chrome, protect them with Rejex. It is only available online. I use it on my polished aluminum wheels and all the chrome & polished aluminum on my motorcycle. The shine will last 6 months and dirt washes off so easy. I never use wheel cleaner. Once I'm done washing my car, I use a soft brush with the soapy water from the bucket.

Thanks Chev ! I'll definitely take that into consideration. When it gets warm out and not just sunny i'll be doing all 4 wheels for the afternoon. I find tire cleaner works good for what its worth though.
