96 Sport 33" tires TT
Trimmed about 1" from the rear part of the front fender. Wasn't necessary, but figured I would rather be safe. No rubbing so far.

Very cool, so the only modifications you have are tt and shackles and a little trim? Stock gearing as well? V6 or v8?
 


















Looks great. What rims are those. I love them.

Edit: I noticed the center cap in the pic. KMC XD series Enduro.
 












Tire & wheel combo look great. :)

Now bend that sharp edge side of the fender cut, and make a new lip to save those new KM2's from being cut to death. ;)

Edit: I looked again at the pics, looks like you covered the cut fender with the fender trim plastic. :thumbsup:
 






looks good.

Sorry for the delayed response, been gone for awhile. Yeah, just have the TT and shackles, didn't really even have to trim, just decided to to be safe. V6. Stock gearing at them moment, but going to swap out gears in the future.

Thanks for all the input guys :thumbsup:
 












Like Those XD Rims , The Combo Looks good on your Sec Gen !

Yes i will point out the missing center cap on the front right side...i bought all the parts and they gave me 3 caps that match and one odd cap that was glossy and too small..so i have to wait for it to come in now :eek:
 






black wheels with the black tint sets that sport off! i really want to buy a sport this year but i dont think the gf is going to go for it being that we already have a trac and a jeep.

Hey do you mind throwing out some measurements on from the ground to the to the top of the wheel well? I want to see if mine sits lower or higher...mainly because someone else did the TT before i owned it i guess and not quite sure how high they lifted it.

Let me know, thanks!!
