New tires and wheels - what do you think?

Post by AZ-Nick » Sun Apr 24, 2005 9:42 am

Thanks to Dave for his help.....

I finally made a decision on the wheel and tire selection and here they are.
Magnum 500 15x7 and 15x8
Yokohama Avid S/T tires 245x60x15 fronts and 295x50x15 rears.
I am sorry the pictures are dark.

Those look SWEET!!!!! :beer: :beer: :beer:

How's your clearances on those rears with the 4.5" backspace? From the pictures, it looks just fine.

Those wheels are perfect for that car too. Really set it off.

from the spring there is about 1".
Yea, I think it looks great, I like the blackwall look on a dark car.
