26" wheels and a 10" lift on an '85 Monte Carlo. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...06488467QQrdZ1
Maybe my taste is a bit off, but I really couldn't see how that looks "good" to anyone? I mean, the 10" lift on a car is one thing wrong...It's 2wd. But, if you were slick enough to put 26" wheels on a car (anything nonetheless), you would hope they did the reasonable modifications to make them fit correctly. Right?
Discuss...

I saw a bunch of guys with custom cars down at the local Home Depot and this guy had an El Camino that was similar to that. He was telling another guy how his lift and big wheels helped him just slice through the air. I had to walk away before I started to laugh as that guy might have done me in for my laughter.

I'll take the car (not that interior), a few performance mods, no stupid lift and a set of Fikse mag wheels http://www.fikse.com/mag.html

At least the guy had the window fixed promptly; I think he cares about the car, just has, uhm, different tastes than I do. | |

You've got the right idea Spilch. Those wheels on that car would be sick. I love the car itself as well, but the whole suspension/wheel thing completely ruins it.

Then again when I got to school I see escalades painted candy blue on 24's and older caprices and impala's lifted on huge spinner wheels with custom heavy metallic paintjobs (one is green, another is yellow) everyday. I guess something like that just doesnt have the same effect on me anymore.
