Alright so I was bored so I photoshopped my car about an inch higher with the SSR's. I think I'm probably the first to use photoshop to raise their car haha.

Wake|MCS, thanks for the p-shop. You are prob. right about being the first to ever do that lol.


I ordered the 215-35-18 tires today, and the wheels are in my living room. So hopefully by the end of the week I should have them mounted and of course pics to follow!
