I'd say yes to the walls.

Makes the wheels look just that fraction bigger.

Those pictures taken in Little Malop street on the first page are awesome! I’ll have to take my car down there and take some pictures one day. Love how clean it looks. It’s amazing how different cars look good in different colours, my favourite coloured car in red, but on bigger cars like your Caprice, white’s gotta be the colour that suits best I reckon, especially with the silver bottom skirts.
