OK new rims...what tires should i get pictures???

crabbymaddy · November 13th, 2010, 08:29 PM

ok i was lucky enough (to me) to score 2 brand new still in the box American Racing Torq Thrust II rims They are backspace 3 3/4 15x8 5 on 4 1/2 X 5 bolt pattern. Now since ive only got 2 to sart with should these go on the front or back and what size tire should i use? if the back what size rim should i get for the front. I have a stock v6 drivetrain. PLEASE post any and all pictures of your ponys with the torq trust rims and post there size and tire size to give me a idea. I like that nose down look if that helps

thanks to all who have helped me in the pst on here !!

15 inch rims would be for like...putting drag slicks / ET Streets on...

crabbymaddy · November 13th, 2010, 09:23 PM

yea i know they are a little smaller than i would like but i got a good deal on them so ill just get bigger tires. Ives seen others with the same 15 rims and they look good, just like i said ill need fat tires.....i have 2001 17 inch pony rims now so who knows if ill even like the way they look thats why i want some pictures to refresh my memories of how they look on my ca (1998) thanks!

crabbymaddy · November 14th, 2010, 03:40 PM

$200.00 for the pair with caps lug washers and chrome valve stems. All brand new still in the box.

thats not a bad price good deal i think

crabbymaddy · November 14th, 2010, 11:10 PM

yea im more than happy a they are fully pollished....i was just looking to see if I shoould go in the front with the 15's and get 16 or 17's for the back or stick with all 4 15's and stagger it with the tire size? and if so what tires shouild i get for the rear using the 15's?

honestly i hate 15s on our cars unless they are drag wheels...the only way you can pull this off is if you put a 17 on the back with a nice tall/wide tire

crabbymaddy · November 15th, 2010, 11:06 AM

see and thats what im looking for opinions like that. so you think i should run the 15s on the front and go for 17's out back? What about tire size on the front if i did it that way? i love my 17inch 2001 gt rims but ALWAYS wanted a set of torq thrust rims....so i finally got them...at least 2 for the time being. what do you think about the tires?

walt1120 · November 15th, 2010, 11:31 AM

i wouldn't mine 15 inch rims on all 4 tires actually. you said they were black and polished so in my opinion no matter what there going to look good. you could put some nice meaty tires on the rear now plus with 15 inch rims your going to have less rotational mass in the rear, meaning youll be a little quicker.

somethin like this would be nice
