    I agree. There's also a lesser problem with clearance under the wheel wells, particularly in the front. I also preferred the ride and handling of my first Classic saloon with 10s vs. 12s. My buddy has a panel with 10s on it and the car looks awesome.

    Here's a shot of two panels, belonging to a couple of friends, taken at a car show in Arroyo Grande this past summer.

    I prefer the 10s, honestly.

    Like the 13s more than the 10s, but the 12s look best

    Personally I like the tens. Great pic by the way. I hope to get a classic someday; it'll be tens for me. The stance on car number one looks perfect.

    10's, the 13's just don't look right to my eyes.
