bristolbaron 10 Posted October 21, 2013 et0? you've gone from one extreme to the other! no issues with inner clearance, but might rub tyres on outer arch. Could consider a 185/35 nankang for ultimate ridiculousness. photos above look awesome though, i'm off to make a RWD RadoRod.. :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EJ Taylor 22 Posted October 21, 2013 I use Megs NXT gen all metal polysh with good results. (No its not a spelling mistake!) I second that, used this with the polishing drill bit pad things instead of the compound in the kit and had sick results! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
