    Go super low. How big are your wheels as well? Think ultra low are illegal too

    Not really, I had 19's with ultra lows in my SS, all it had was rolled guards.

    then why not spend an hour rolling them so you can fit the wheels and tires you want, what air strike is saying is that why put off what you really want just because of a small job.

    Because putting a jack handle between the rim and guard and rolling the car backwards and forwards is so major...

    Probably the ultra lows mr calais, I'm in the process of converting the senator rear bumper to dual pipes just for show, bit of a fibreglass cut and shut. Have pulled the car off the road and its in the process of a stripdown. Start of a few years work.
