    Wasn't really all that difficult. In fact, I am glad I got these wheels before I searched here.... If you search here, you would think these size wheels and tires would never fit, but I let er rip and didn't think twice about it. The rears were no big deal at all. There was no rubbing although I messaged the inner wheel well just a bit to give me a little extra clearance. As far as the front goes, that was the problem. The wheels were hitting the UCAs. So, I had to cut the hat off the UCAs and now they fit no problem. Just hope I didn't ruin the intergrety of the UCAs.... I dont think I did, that little hat dosen't mean too much other than covering the ball joint I dont think....

    LOL, thanks alot. Fortunately all the important stuff is done and done right, just putting a few of our personal touches on it now... It came with a few Cobras on it which my wife didn't like so I am in the process of de-cobraing it....lol

    Well, if you and your wife just bought it then you should have a good idea of the market will bear right now. I assume you looked at quite a few cars before you found this one.

    Well, we got it from a friend and got a great deal on it so there is no way to really know what he could have got if he really tried to sell it. I have seen lesser cars go for 30+ so i was just wondering. We have receipts for almost twice that....
