Nice attitude
I think it looks ghetto. The Type 44's just weren't meant to have big *** wheels and 30, 40 series rubber. You say it rides great, how could it? The unsprung weight at each wheel has got to be far greater than OE! What do those wheels/tires weigh? Physics is unbending...it rides like a brick and handles sluggishly. Keep telling yourself it doesn't, click your heels together and you'll be back in Kansas........

Agree, but adjustable coil-overs aren't ghetto. i mean, unless you have the car absolutely dumped ;-) haha!
Anyway, I cared a little bit hence the lighter weight 235's and Corvette wheels that keep things just about factory weight.

Mine is with R18 J8 ET38 with 20mm spacers at the front and 15mm at the rear,
with 224/40 tires and they look to small to me.
I have coilovers installed, but at the moment (in the pictures)
front is at max high.
