No side shots, it will be left outside the house if it snows. Tyres are too wide in anything other than fresh snow and provide no grip at all.

Too tight to buy new ones or it would've been done ages ago.
Got a nice set of bug springs here, go nice on yours when it's alive.


Quick Reply: Finally got car to respectable height.
