I'm runnin 295/50R15s on rear and 235/60R15s front on mine now.. But 8 inch wide wheel on the rear.. so for the stock style wheels you might have to order something..

Do you have pics up of the 295s?

Huh, funny I missed those pics. Went to that thread looking for them specifically, too.



Not a bad look, really. How do you like those Hercules tires?

so far so good. i have run that brand tire in LT stuff on my van and loved them so for, but I work in a wholesale warehouse that sells them.. The HP 4000s have lots of sipping, and i know they are a really good winter tire. they are a 50,000 mile tire also... the car runs nice down the hwy with those tires..

O the front of that car is lowered so it sits about 1.5-2 inches above the bumpstops in the front, i have not lowered the rear. it has the stock springs back there.

Yeah, looks like you cut maybe 2 whole coils on the front!

[hav24wheel]

nope, none... just heated them up a bit. lol. i couldn't get the balljoint to pop loose to get the coils out, so i put the tires back on and heated them up one coil at a time, tell i got it sitting the way i wanted.

Its my brother's. Used to be mine, prior to the red car. The blue car is my brother's, the purple one is the burnout mobile, and the red one in the back is mine.

The blue car actually has the ansen slot mags on it now...

[70torino429]
