    Hello!
    I gott 20's, dont know the brand of the rims. It was just something that came with the car when I bought it. any how I think the tires in the front are 275/30R20 and in tha back I think it's 285/30R20. the chrome is starting to peale off so I'm thinking of powdercoating them dark gray but most of all I would like to change my rims to american racing tt2's 18or 19" in the back and 17 or 18" in the front. Sorry dont have a better picture of the wheels.
    Sorry, I cant post pics cuz I you have to have more than 10 posts to do that but remove the space between http and : and it will work =)

    Hi, no, I wouldn't tear up the rear quarters. They are there to keep the rearend from bouncing too much. Without them, if I went over something like a "whoop-te-doo" on the road, I could some times hear the tire rub up in the inner fenderwell as it's rounded up inside.

    I don't have any pictures right now but I did have 235/60R14 on the front and 235/60R15 on the back. I still have the same on the front but now have 275/60R15's on the back. I like it a lot and it gives it good rake. I'll get pictures soon.

    Curt I like your set up but I don't want to spend extra money on my car on tires because I just bought all new ones for my current stock rims. So how do you think those rims would look as 15x8 in the back and 14x7 in the front?

    hi matt

    only the front ones a little on big bumps, but cured that with a little triming. i also think stiffer springs then stock would help. i think your car would look good with what you want. its all personal preferance. i like tires and wheels to fill the wheel well. its what you like. its a touchy subject you can make or break it with a wheel and tire combo. i did have 15x10 in back with 295/50/15 and 245/60/15 up front on 15x8 inch wheels and dog dish hubcaps, i'll try to get some pics of it loaded up. i like when the tire are as close to the same size all the way around, i prefer the pro touring look.

    later curt

    14X6 wheels with 225/60R14 BFG Radial TAs

    Wheels and tires currently for sale. With suspension mods, I need to stand a little taller - going to 15X7s probably with the TAs again. Also adding front discs so have to go to 15s.
