    To get serious wheels under the back of it is going to need flaring or mini tubbing.

    I know I was all for modifying the car in the previous thread but I'd really try and do modifications that are not permanant. Hacking it up for big wheels, while they look cool and I have no issues with doing it to my car now, would be a bit sad to see for this old girl.

    Nah, I'm not interested in hacking it up. I will settle on a normal setup without needing to do any structural changes.

    Damn... this means I'm gonna have to wait a while before I can get some serious tubbing done to the 25, and engine-bay work to get the 1JZ into it.....
