jenkins6586 Member Registered: 07/25/08 Posts: 302 Loc: Buffalo, NY	even though im against this type of modding to these cars. heres a link to a good web site for these types of parts. the one rim shop over here that my brother in law works at says this is where they buy there parts for customers who want to install large rims. http://universalcarlifts.com/advanced_search_result.php?make=34&model=3439&year=1998 EDIT: just went thur the site, they have a 10 inch lift for the CV to run 32" rims Edited by jenkins6586 (01/09/11 06:13 AM)

jeffb502 n00b Registered: 12/28/09 Posts: 35 Loc: Central Coast, California	Is this a show car or a daily driver? Why lift a car? With that out of the way...whatever you do, make sure it's safe and roadworthy. Don't endanger the rest of us, and yourself, just to make your car look "cool." and Originally Posted By: AKA_Rizzo I just wanna say, the storm that is coming is not necessarily the view of CVN or it's member ship entirely.
