    There are few things more frustrating...

    than rushing a parallel parking job in a tight spot and kissing the curb with the wheel.

    I should have just let traffic pile up behind me and took my time.

    Just spent an hour sanding & touching up the Borbet B and it looks OK from 3 feet away.

    That is all.

    Tires with rim guards: use them

    And stretching sidewalls: don't
    paint sucks

      Get real tires instead of stretching them on.

        Yes... I know what you are saying. Didn't have this problem with my last wheel setup.

        But I'm stupid and can't figure out how to run a 245 series tire on a 16x9 rim with stock fenders.

          Don't rush it man! I never scuffed my bottle caps and I am not planning on messing up my 2k RS

            That's why you don't run a 16x9 with a tiny tire. :p Buy a narrower wheel.

              But I can't find a narrower wheel that looks like this.

              I am considering flaring out the fender lips this fall and stuffing a fatter tire in there.

                because when you're rocking a 'vert

                looks are half the battle

                  don't flare the fenders! its just a battle scar, and if you can't see it from 5 feet, nobody can see it.


                  amazing car by the way.
