Small update on the pony

marq.fcb · November 17th, 2010, 11:29 PM

Installed 1.25'' wheel spacers

all tires are 235/45/17

Before

After

I wanna go with 265 or 275/40/17 rear and 245/45/17 front

What do you think?

MikeJones · November 18th, 2010, 12:05 AM

It'll look better when you get the bigger tires!

WhiteVenom · November 18th, 2010, 12:21 AM

looks good besides the bike tires on it lol. Id go with atleast 275s but i like 315s...

MeMz · November 18th, 2010, 12:35 AM

I say go 265 all the way around, nice wider tire. But still able to rotate. I had 295's on the rear and 265's up front when I had my mustang. Tires got real expensive on 18's. Now I have 18x9 all the way around with 275s on the SS, its so nice to rotate tires

well an 8" wheel can hold a 275/40 no problem, but i don't think he has even that

V8POWA! · November 18th, 2010, 01:10 AM

I know, like how your wheels looks on 275/40/17

but look at this
17x8 tri bars with 275/40/17
definitely too much bulge

89StangGT · November 18th, 2010, 11:26 AM

^ That doesn't even look that bad??

That's perfect. Each brand of tire varies as well.

V8POWA! · November 18th, 2010, 01:06 PM
