[/IMG] It looks about like mine. I think it looks good.
 
looks great, except for the space saver spares you have on the rear.....
 
The rake is fine. Not a fan of rally wheels tho. lol Ur tires are on the small side too.
 
I think it looks great the way it is!! Maybe, possibly, eventually, down the road, some bigger wheels/tires in the back. If you want. Up to you. Just my opinion.
 
I've got 235/60/14 in the rear which are slightly over 9 inches and 245's or 255's would have been really close to the leaf springs. Maybe some off set rims and or 15's, and spring movement down the road. 205/70/14 front.
 
Stance looks good..... u need a taller tire not wider

I thought about something taller but I calculated that with the 235/60/14 at about 24.5 inches tall with the 3.91's I would cross the line right at 6000 which should be just a few 100 rpm over its peak. Up front I adjusted the torsion bars at 25 inches from ground to fender lip. I have over 2 inches of upward travel for weight shift to the rear when I get on it. The rear springs are replacements that are about 3/4 inch higher than stock.Not sure what brand they are, apparently not long before I bought the car someone completely rebuilt the front end and put new leaf springs on it.
