Dayummm. Those things are squeezed into the fenders, eh? They rub at all? They look cool.

I like them. Nice choice. That 3rd picture does make it look really tight in there and we all need to know if they rub? I don't think the fenders are rolled yet.

I live in SF, there are so many dips and potholes, so yes, they rub. The fenders are also rolled. I think I need to raise it a little bit. Anyone heard of S.Car.Go? That's where I picked these up. The are lightweight Fikses. The price was right so I just went for it.
The rears are 315/30's the fronts 225/40 Pilot Sport Cups.

Nice steamrollers....Fikse makes great wheels.....love the car, color and good choice on black painted version. It just looks mean...nice!

My measly Kinesis K28's (currently on stretched 265's...to 285's when needed) White cars have the strongest engines you know.
