Man that is NICE!!!!!!! They look great on a box. I still remember the days when you had that one merc with the mud tires on it. :drool: :D

Southern_Pride

12-24-2005, 09:40 PM

I wish I had still had the one with mud tires. SO much faster and handle infinitly better. Like a sports car. Thanx for the compliments.

NOOO!!! No, no, and again no! You have sporty rims and your car looks awesome like that, loweirng the rear will just ruin nice looks. Especially if you have bigger tires in the back.

mrltd

12-24-2005, 10:19 PM

Lower the whole car...looks like a 4wd now. Wheels look great though!

Southern_Pride

12-24-2005, 10:34 PM

Thats a bad pic. It doesnt sit high in the front at all . The back is way high. Need to drop it like 1 inch MAX.

mrltd

12-25-2005, 10:59 AM

running staggered tires right?

Southern_Pride

12-25-2005, 05:20 PM

Yeah. Very staggered. 225/55-17 front and 255/65-17 rear. My falken didnt work out. Gotta send em back.

Looks good, though personaly I wouldn't have gotten such large tires in the rear.

JumboFriendly

:stupid:

Southern_Pride

12-26-2005, 11:42 AM

The ones I originally were gonna run are bigger. And it still smokes em so I dont care.

Fordman75

12-26-2005, 12:32 PM

I like the look of tires with some side wall to them. The low profile tires just look strange to me on the boxes.

boXman

12-26-2005, 12:45 PM

Holy shit what a rake! They look awesome, man. That's one sweet Merc...nice pics too!

mrltd

12-26-2005, 01:31 PM

Good god those are some huge rear tires. Something like a 255/50 all the way around would have been my choice.

those are 3" TALLER than stock! 30" vs. 27" :eek:

Blaze86Vic

12-26-2005, 01:50 PM

I think he had 31s on it before...

85crownHPP

12-26-2005, 01:52 PM

damn those are huge!
Ida picked someting half way between that and whats on the front.
But if thats the look you're goin for, you have a nice wheel to do it on.

Is the back jacked up from air shocks or springs? If its air shock, Id let em down a bit - it would look good with the tire just barely tucked into the fender well, and you'd still have a nice rake

Southern_Pride

12-26-2005, 03:38 PM

All spring. My airshocks are blown. Need to make something to lower it.

zwack88

12-26-2005, 06:16 PM

Looks great! It would look even better if there were some dual chrome pipes sticking out of the back. :evil: :clap:

mrltd

12-26-2005, 06:37 PM

Looks great! It would look even better if there were some dual chrome pipes sticking out of the back. :evil: :clap:

With the huge tires and rake, put some side exits with big Meg's tips...

Southern_Pride

12-26-2005, 06:42 PM

No side exits. Its a 4 door. My next mod is exhaust. Dual 2 1/2 inch pipes w/ moroso spiral flows probably. Maybe magnapacks or glasspacks though.

Did you get those from Wheels and Caps?? I got mine there and most happy with em.

I hated putting the steelies back on, but the hankooks did not have much bite in snow.

Southern_Pride

01-02-2006, 02:57 PM

I think I did. Got em in like august so its hard to remember.

Roach III

01-04-2006, 04:09 AM

Dude, fuck all these no-gos. That shit is awesome! The rake is the shit! I think I'm going to air up the TC rear air shocks to get a nice Rrake! :D :clap: :drool: :rock:

88Vic

06-26-2006, 03:07 PM

What kind of rear shocks/springs are you runnin? That rake is so cool lookin. I hate the rear sag that my car has.

Southern_Pride

06-26-2006, 11:06 PM

Holy diggin up old threads. Those are trw hd wagon coils. It dont have rake like that no more though.

85crownHPP

06-27-2006, 12:57 AM

what are the sizes and overall diameters for the tires in these pics??? I want to pick out sizes for the 17"s i wont be getting for quite some time.

grandpaslincoln

Nice :cool:

Southern_Pride

225/55-17 front and 255/65-17 rear.

packman

11-30-2006, 05:49 PM

That is close to the route I was going to go on my ma's CV, except I got what I got. If I knew what I was doing, I would of run 225 55R17 in the rear and lowered the car 1-1/4" in the front and 1" in the rear. Good job!!!!!

Southern_Pride

11-30-2006, 09:38 PM

Holy thread digging. This thing looks far from that now. Doesnt look close to the same. Almost, almost wish I kept it that way. Hard to arque with its current performance now except the braking.

Those wheels are on my 97 now.

11-30-2006, 10:15 PM

You finnally got em mounted? Sweet.

DuceAnAHalf

You finnally got em mounted? Sweet.

yeah $600 in tires later. 255/50 R17, Nitto NT450's This is from the day they were mounted, so they are still really dirty.

I keep getting these white boxes with red squares in the middle. If I point to it and right click I only get a few options, none of which open that file up.

So far so good. I really need a wider wheel for them but other than that pretty good.
