Good stuff man.

whitemustang02 · May 7th, 2008, 01:35 AM

not bad but why did you decide on the 17/18 set up and not keep it the same size all around

mikethetigerrr · May 7th, 2008, 12:40 PM

275/30/17
285/40/18

i went bigger in the back because i want the car to sit a little more like this /
not that extreme of course but i cant really describe it any better than that
lol

the front and rear being different has no effect on his speedo, just the rear wheels will effect it. we need a side shot pic to see how the diferent sizes make the car look

if you do the calculation the over all diameter of the tire is not the same or near stock so that is what will throw his spedo off. different sized wheels will not affect anything if mated with an appropriate tire size witch he did not.

shadow5403 · May 7th, 2008, 02:52 PM

if you have a tuner, you can adjust for different tire sizes too.

mikethetigerrr · May 7th, 2008, 10:57 PM

typo
tire sizes are:
275/40/17
285/35/18

to be honest i wasn't paying attention when i ordered them.
i was a bit excited to finally be getting em.
i got them off American muscle so i just hit the best fit tires selection u no?

anyway
in my opinion the rims look nice on the car, but it needs to atleast be dropped. thing sits like a monster truck compared to the stock rims.
