Hahaa, yeah billlets aren't my thing but their different.

Try a 195 on a 9 inch wide wheel, thats crazy stretch. Where the lip is not even seated on the side wall of the tire.

Yeah he actually did the work on the fenders himself. The front actually looks decent, but the rears look like book shelves. I guess just for the sake of doing it. But he pretty much ruined his car.

this is the car wearing those widened steelies....i LOVE IT!!!!

The one thing i wish the mini could do would be to have a lip as deep as this without a huge wide arch kit.
