Must be my screen, but I thought it was way too short to be an Amazon. Picture gave me that impression.

Those excessive wheel arches don't help with overall perspective of the picture,probably.

What amazon is left does not look great, as the proportions are skewed in all directions massive wide track wheels.
Why he was worried about rust I don't know, there is little volvo left.

Yep, it has some pretty comedic proportions but I can forgive that as part of the crazy build.

It would have looked better with the original 16' Skyline wheels as shown in the build photos above, along with suitably shrunk arches.

[Digitalize]

I'd imagine wheel size is for tyre choice, less sidewall etc. You rarely see their stuff running small wheels for some reason.

You are right, that's probably it.
