Na, the backspacings perfect! Look how close the tires are to the springs. Reminds me of the late 70's.

Lets see, wet track, painted tar, no rubber on track, oddly set crowd, worlds shortest track, all makes for a very strange pic. Almost looks like the end of an airport runway.

looks like its in germany or something with the banner being ".de" rather than ".com" have them stick to RS4s and M3s they do those right

lollll.......I know, right?!?

I think that looks very stupid/ugly. Get it over with, mini tub the car and tuck the wheels inside the wells.

Any guesses on what size and brand of tire?

I'll bet it's an N50/15. I want to say it's a Mickey Thompson, but the tread looks like something else...maybe Pos-a-Traction 'torque twister'?

New pro-touring craze...what's old is new again,lol.

Must be way bigger then N50. I had N50 on my 70 Camaro in the 80's and they didn't stick out at all with the right offset wheels. as close to the springs as this one is.

I would say they are 15X15 rims with 28X17 wheels. Hey flare the quarters and do a fat fender look.
