people who removed the inner fender liners: did you guys have to relocate any harnesses that were hiding up in there? i'd be worried about driving in the rain with that exposed.

i ended up cutting and re-routing the harness that was in my fender well on my 240 which is why i'm asking.

What's up with your seats, swapped from another car? Headlights are interesting, don't see those much on the 8.

I believe tilt had 18x9.5 +12 Kai's with 245's? lots of negative camber + rolled/pulled fender and a host of other fender work but it could fit!

All depends on tire size and how much work you're willing to do - I had some 18x9.5 +15 w/265's all around for a while.
