Tom, this thing will only come initially in slammed mode. All the geometry is setup for a 17" wheel with 40 series tires just tucked under the fender at ride height. The one I've made that you see in the pictures will run 215s on the front. It sticks out about 1" from a stock fender, I wanted a slightly wider track than stock as my back end is going to be very fat. I've ordered new stock width fenders from Creative Car Craft and Bruce?(the owner) is also making me just some outside fender lips from the stock fender mold. I'm going to graft those to the stock fenders to allow the extra 1" to fit under without making the whole fender wider and making the bumpers look funny. It should like a stretched stock fender or maybe like the eyebrowed german look ones. The problem is then I'll have to do the backs eyebrowed as well, and I really prefer the stock fender lines.

We might make a stock height one if the demand is there, but I really can't imagine someone who is comfortable with stock ride height having the need for better cornering, seems kind of backwards, don't ya think!?
