At the OP...here's shot of my 335/30/20 rears on 12.5's. You could also go to 325's and you'd have a slightly lower side profile.

That is a badass looking car but there is one problem with the picture, can you guess what that is? It just looks like a 10.2 @ 138 car but there is still one problem with the picture. You need to fix that problem and repost us several different angles of that beast.

I promised and do owe some pics in this thread, so tomorrow, if it's not raining outside, I'll snap a bunch of pics and post up in this thread! Meantime, here's a few more taken that same day back in the summer; not the greatest shots, but something anyway...

Hey Karl, are your front tires rubbing on the inside or outside of fender when turned lock to lock? I wonder if a spacer would work to bring the wheel out just a bit. Would you mind taking a pic from the front corner of car to the rear showing how close the tires are to the fenders.
I am really considering your tire sizes on some HRE wheels. The OD on 265/35/20 is 27.3 vs 26.8 OEM and the OD on 325/30/20 is 27.7 vs 27.2 OEM. The stock setup has .4 difference front to rear as would the latter setup..any techs out there who would know if the AWD will be stressed. I know many people have installed larger tires on their turbos without any short term issues, however I am more concerned about the long term. Any info would be great,TIA

A spacer on a center lock wheel? C'mon, man...
