I'm no expert, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were 35's 0n that yellow Jeep, wayland.

For those that are intrested, this is the original picture that I used to make JK Sahara's Pumpkin Unlimited. I was gonna give it "clamshell styled, or also called "suicide doors" on the rear, but then it wouln't be like the JK-Unlimited

Well... I have a feeling they're 35's, but I've been fooled before. Whatever the case, it has a great stance.

Those can be made easily enough If ya know what I mean

But then again, I know how I am and If I'm gonna buy something brand new, I am always willing to wait till the exact thing that i'm looking for comes around so I don't have to modify something I just spent hundreds of dollars for

Yeah I live at home with my very very close minded father. When he saw the pictures from tolland he almost killed me until mom had to remind him that I pay for it, I can do what I want. When I bought the wheels for it he still hasn't dropped it because "you had good tires! they were brand new!" once again even though its never been his money. I can just imagine the shit I would catch for cutting two holes through the front of a brand new bumper. I guess he's one of those people that don't see the logic in spending extra money on your transportation. But it makes no sense, his first car was a nova with a 442!

Maybe the reason is because he knows stuff about his past that you have yet to find out
and for the record, when he bought the 442 (I'm gonna sound old here but...) things were a bit different back then.

As for the tires do you still have the old stuff, or did you sell them to offset the cost of the new ones?

What I'm getting at is if you sold them and got a good price just remind him that because of doing that the new stuff didn't really cost all that much. (I'm sure you probably do, but it doesn't matter in his eyes).

Just currious...did your dad buy his Nova new or used?
