Nice offset. Alot of guys dont like big wheels on their car but i do! Hell these cars from the factory coming with 22's now. Im from the south and thats perfect!

Looks good but the wheels need something to accent them. Most newer cars with large open wheels have big rotors and painted calipers which create interest in the wheel opening. A four disc system is expensive but you might be able to piece something together reasonably.
 
Great job Steve! Went thru that last winter myself. I also powdercoated the inner fenders and radiator support. Wheels, not really a fan of anything over 17", like the look of a nice sidewall.
 
What's the best procedures to get the inner fenders out??????
 
Well lost my mind i am pulling the motor and tranny to detail de frame and motor lolol here are some pics!

Looks awesome steve you have some ambition for sure, can you share what brand of paint you used? And any special prep that was needed? I have both of mine out right now and am contemplating the very same thing you did. Thanks.
