Look closely at the wheels.

Almost looks like he either has 16's up front & 15's in the back, or wider wheels up front than in back.

Holy crap--well for such a "maintenance person" he certainly does pay a lot of attention to the incredibly obvious...

I wonder who did all of his oil lines, gaskets, and valve adjustment...hopefully not the guy who put the tires on the car because if so, he probably has fuel lubricating his engine and oil going into the cylinders to ignite...and who ends up with a car that they have had less than a year that they need to pay the note on?

Caveat Emptor, as always in eBay land...

It looks like the drivers side is wrong, and the passenger side is correct. I wonder how it drives!

"No Reserve" is mentioned in the copy yet the car has not hit reserve yet????

Also, did he rotate his tires and swap the back to the front?

Looks like the 16x6 on the left rear (I had bolted up one of mine in the same manner last summer and I recognize the look)

Different diameter wheels.

DL: The pics aren't perfect, but the driver's side of the car has its front (6") wheel on the rear, and its rear (7") wheel on the front. I think, but I wouldn't put money on it, that they are correct 16" wheels.

A couple of years ago, a local used car lot had an SC with the 6s on one side and the 7s on the other, all with undersized tires on them. Accident waiting to happen.
