If the body shop can do the same job they did on a friends race car, if you don't know it's been done, it's hard to notice. The Super purists won't like the mod, but it fits what I want to do with the car. A 195/60 tire will fit just fine but a 205/60 might be a little tight. As for the source, Anthony (italcarguy) got them for me, or might have been his dad, not actual sure who placed the order.

That makes sense. I'm probably going with a bit narrower tire and wheel combo, since this car will be mostly a warmed up daily driver rather than a track beast. I like to do an HPDE or two a year but that's what my M3/4 is for.
