Question How tall is your P car?

Mine is 49" but it looks to high. I though it may be the 15" wheels and flares in the rear but the front looks high too... Would 17" wheels do the trick?

Why not just lower the car front and rear?

The rear Carrera flares were added before I snagged her. Well I am kind of toying with the idea of adding larger(17") wheels at some point. Not sure if the front could handle them when dropped.

Even if you go with 17s you will need to lower the car. Depending on the tire size you run now 17s could be close to the same over all diameter


Here is a pic of Teds car slammed on 17s

Now that looks good in the front but tight.
