Oh another random rant, so my birth cert doesn't have my name on it. It only lists Baby Boy Vang on it. Just sent in an amendment/add in w/ $89 bucks. Site says working on rqsts from 9/30/11, man, I'm far down the list. Argh!!! I blame my parents haha
^^^ so technically you first name is "Baby" and middle name is "Boy" 
I think you should own that name and wear it proudly 
As for the tire question I'd say don't go any bigger than 305 on the rear and for the front 245 or 255 (if you want meaty) would work fine.

Been wondering.... How many of you guys do a lot of modding on your own or are there any out there that are like me who just doesn't have the right type/enough tools and know how to get things done by yourself? Been kinda bummer... Like I'd love to know more and learn how to do things but with the few willing to help/show so I can learn makes it difficult.
Who's this Fanyan fella people keep talking about?
He should skip work from May 16th to May 26th next year
Also.. I officially put a thread on driver looking for some oem cats. I dont have the right set up to have the HFC's need a true dual with an x-pipe.. not gonna spend more money on exhaust. If anyone wants the HFC's let me know.. they are going on driver when I get the oem's.
Hrmms... Tires tires tires... Since we kinda on that topic what would u guys run on an 11" wheel? 315? Don't know if anyone here runs anything that wide. Also, do you guys wait til you slap on the wheels before rolling your fenders? I already know for sure ill have to have them rolled to fit the 9" & 11" wheels w/ +15 all around. Suggestions?

Peng, tires are decently priced. And not even sure if going with 315s. With that being said, don't even know what size profile I wanna go with yet either. I've Never gone that wide or big before so kinda cluless haha... In the end, if it becomes too big of a headache, ill find some other wheels.
Those xxr wheels are exactly the ones I plan to be sporting in the spring. Kinda skeptical though.... I hate it when tire doesn't meet the edge of the wheel. Idk if there's a technical term for that. But really its a pretty big toss up.
As far as painting goes, I've been buying cheap stuff to practice. The clear I sprayed with the gun on the wheels are holding up excellent. Not to mention, I put a good couple layers on it, so I doubt it will be cracking anytime soon. 1 thing I did learn was, get the right size gun for the type of work you're doing. If I would've had a smaller hvlp gun, I wouldn't have had so much overspray. Another thing is drying time and avoiding dust. Other than that, its all good.
Right now, I'm working on a few rusted areas. If that gets done well, then ill be repainting the wifes vw.

Thanks man! Yeah I have 2 garages. My downstairs garage is for car and misc stuff. I have a generic booth I set up. It's just a 10x10 portable gazebo. I put clear plastic around the sides when I paint. Not the most ideal setup but you don't wanna be spraying in the garage and have all those fumes lingering. Only thing that sucks is I typically paint in spring and fall only, since its outdoor and can't control temp.
