Like KR-S said it really was the thing to do once upon a time and survives in some of the retro hot rod gang to this day.

I'm well aware of the OG's of stance, but this breaks every rule. Unless it has a monster under the hood, do not want.

True. At least to power those wheels we had those nice big, torque rich, V8s even if the HP they put out would be laughed at nowadays.

Tires aren't as big as you'd think. Almost all of the ridiculous stretched tire is outside of the factory wheel well living under those stupid flares.

It is a silly thing to do, but his wheel bearings will let him know that soon enough.

Pretty sure if he did all that work he took that into account and replaced the stock parts. It may be silly but the guy seems to know his stuff and that is no half assed build.

Illusions of grandeur?

It may be full-assed for China, but it is built for looks - not function.
