        zomg! Needs dropped badly!!! While camber does accelerate tire wear, it really doesn't do too much damage unless it's coupled with other alignment problems, like toe. I run around -10 degrees on the rear of my cressida, which I have had almost 2 years, and just today had to put my first pair of tires on the rear (driven all day every day since the day I got it). Now the front is at around -3, and was nearly an 1" out on toe before I corrected it, and in that time, I went through a pair of tires in 2 months. If you do it right, they won't wear out too fast, honestly. They won't last as long as they would on a stock height s13 with perfect alignment, but who wants that shit anyway? Also, seriously, 55 series if too too tooooo big . Go with 195-50r15 and dial in your height/alignment and I bet you can tuck a wee-bit-o-tire

          went over to AutoPro and picked up some sand paper grade 360 and started the sanding

          started the spraying in this pic its half finished i dident bother about fixing any damage its not that bad anyway



          and this is how it came out




          anyone thats in need of a silver that is so close to the S13 Silver the paint i used is




          i got them from supercheap

          iam happy with the out come and also saved myself a fair bit of money

          sorry about the pics still learning my new camera im noobing lol

          update

          so the other week i picked up a set of bolt on flares thinking they would work as they are universal flares anyway i brang them home mocked up and found out they where way to big lol o well so round 2 i went down to Just Jap today to pick up a set of S13 Bolt On Flares they fit so much better cant wait for them to be on the car

          now the question is to leave them black or paint them silver?

                            Thats still a pretty large sidewall, I would say bump it down to 195/50 it looks a ton better, even when you are going for that big sidewall look.

                              I love:
                              fat tires
                              sr with that flashy vc
                              flares
                              little wheels
                              Don't love:
                              losing the origin body kit (i think it's origin?)
                              !

                                I would have kept the origin kit and got some wheels that fit that style... But since you are going this route, get the flares on, way more low, and hopefully less sidewall. Super Swampers belong on trucks.
