Beguining stages of making the wheelwells ready for the 26x11.5. The plan is to make it look as stock as possible, thats why we didnt just made them in aluminum.

Are you still running the stock fuel tank? If so, what in-tank pump and external fuel pumps are you using? Or if not, what fuel pump/tank setup do you have? I'm planning out my fuel system and don't know whether or or not to delete the stock fuel tank/pump/siphon system altogether and go with a trunk mounted fuel cell/pump.
Tight ride by the way! Can't wait to see your Tiptronic/diff/axle setup!

I was gonna do the wire tuck too when i had the esmeril, but i decided against it. Cutting 50+ wires didn't motivate me enough lol
