I like them a lot, but I think the steelies (with plain black tires) still look better, must be the way they're painted. Also, a dark window tint would look awesome on that car, say maybe 20%.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

15x7 rims with 235/60-15 on the front and 15x8 rims with 275/60-15 on the back. Offsets are -6 on the front and -19 on the back.
The back wheel wells are now filled properly, not like the stock wheels being these tiny little donuts sunk way in there, and I actually gained a little inside room on the front. Tires don't rub on the inside fender well at full steering lock like they did with the stock wheels.
I'm still at odds with the back tires though. That is alot of sidewall there. Was thinking maybe taking these back and getting the 295/50-15. It would match the front sidewalls better. But with the 275's I'd be getting just a tad better gas mileage. I dunno.
Up next is a front end rebuild. I've got a couple bad control arm bushings that need to be replaced so I can get a good front end alignment, and since it's all going to be apart, might as well replace all the bushings and ball joints, and new springs too that will lower the front end about 1-2 inches. It sits a little too high up front.
And eventually, I'll get the windows tinted. I want to redo the interior first, so that I don't scratch the tint taking out the panels. It'll either be 30% all the way around for Indiana specs, or 35% for the front windows and limo for the rest per Missouri specs. Or maybe I'll just do it before winter and take my chances.
