                    The grip seems to be much wilder... as should be expected...

                        I didnt want to spill the beans on what you told me via text. Thought that would be info you may or may not want out in the public

                        I use both the tapatalk app and upload my pics to flickr just in case they get photobucked in the future.

                        Are you still planning on installing the KA flares?

                          Ha, nothing to hide here, KA flares I think for now I can get away with spending some more time on the stock fenders and get the clearance these wheels need, down the road maybe or something more than just the flares..

                            Im pretty sure the car you got them from was also running the stock flares with a pull and roll and his is a late model which means the arches are lower in the back making it harder to fit wide wheels

                            another benefit of having the 84

                              You are correct on that, and I can see some rub marks on the front tires about where they are rubbing currently, if I spend another hour on each side I can probably get them to clear with 0 rub.. the front springs and a new bar will also help..

                                The beauty of beating those front fenders into submission is that they are the 3rd set of fenders that the car has had since I had it and they are the best looking ones. The point is that the originality of the car is long gone so bending some metal into submission can be done without hurting anyones feelings...

                                except Porsche owners :rofl:
