Nice dude, and well common you know you have to give all specs on wheels and tires again, rubbing if any, give it up to the fit crew :P

I assume those are still the oem size wheels you swapped over? It would look great as mentioned b4 in a 195-45-16

the oem overall diameter is I believe 24.2" while the 195-45-16 is 22.8" so yould not rub im sure but yould also create a larger gap in the drop making it lool not as low (to the ground), if you went with a 205-45-16 it would stay the same at 22.8" while a 205-50-16 would be 24.1" making it damn near bang on as stock resulting in basically zero change to the odometer and yould handle better and keep the look and improve handling by far

while if you went with a 195-50-16 it woud be 23.7" thus near same as stock as well but a tad smaller meaning less chance to rub over the 205.

I don't think that Teggy was dumped jaykay2x

Wow that's great that you had a system in there and still no rubbing. But do you think you can try driving around with a full car (1 front passenger, and 2 rear) and see how that goes? I got a family that loves to go out and I'm the family driver

Thanks a bunch! and don't forget to drive it around for a good bit, a test isn't anything if its just a short ride.

and I just realized the 360 season change from the Del sol to the hatchy lawlz
If you scroll up and down really fast, it looks hilarious how everything changes except for the position of that Stratus ;P

Random question. Are those stock tails and what kind of bulbs are you running in your headlights. Just curious.
