Ya, I will have to consider getting some narrower tires if they are that much of a difference. The front tires are only 245 wide, maybe the same set on the rear, or would you go narrower all around?

No top for it now, although FFR offers both a hard top and a soft top add-on.

I would think if you went with something that had a vintage look to match the style of car wouldn't look out of place.

I know you said you didn't want to go with narrower tires but I think small compromises can be made.

Do you have a hard top or is there even an option for a hard top? or is it just a fair weather open top car?
