    If the backspacing was right and they were tucked under the lips, I'd rock them all day long.

    They stick out a little too much. But I have a 20/9 20/10 rear FOOSE NITRO Wheels on my 04 DTR. And car runs great with them on. Check mine out. I went to two car shows this past weekend. And walk away with the harware. And my off set is pretty much correct.

    Like the bold rear tires, looks like front may be a smidge wide, but I'd like to see a photo from front on ground after you drive it around for a few days.

    One of the features the Marauder had that made it fully indistinguishable for it's cousins was the stock rake the Marauder had from the factory. When moving to larger tires and therefore changing all of the perspective, it is easy to forget the rake is what made it look tough.

    From past experience, the air ride is sometimes tough to get the back height "set" at the right height for mechanics that havent worked with these. Recommend making a sharpie mark on bracket at the low (where it sits now in last picture) so when you want to adjust, if you want to adjust, you have a "low" bench mark. Then you can make adjustments and fine tune/tweak the rear height more easily.

    Car looks really tough, remincent of a HOT WHEEL of our car. What brand/kind of wheels are those?

    Ande like all others before me, just send the old wheels my way--I'll even pay the freight!

    This view looks really good. I'm not a fan of the tires sticking out either. But I do like the style you choose.

    So my offset is wrong as well. I am fine with the way it is. So thank you. But it is just your opinion. It is like a *** everybody has one. My car looks good. And that is all that matters too me.

    Do you have any pics from the rear of the car? I would like to see what it looks like. Make your car the way you want, wheels have always been a touchy subject around here. I have been hearing it for 10 years

    Sorry not at this time. I've been busy at work I'll try to snap a few shots soon. Thanks for all the positive comments. Yeah man I had no clue how sensitive some of these members are getting with the wheel game LOL!
