Lol. I wanna see how it looks tho. If it doesn't give any problems and looks nice, I wouldn't mind doing it just for the hell of it. I'm running on 235/45/17s right now anyways. A nice fat tire on the back would probably give it that nice aggressive look. I'm waiting for some pics from GokuSSJ3! lol.

Can you please snap a couple of pictures from both sides on the back and maybe a front view too? I wanna see how it looks. Because I just bought some new tires but if your setup looks nice, I might return 2 tires and get them 275/40/17 for the back 
I love me an aggressive sporty look like that. Especially OEM. I love cars in they're original form. Hey, also, have they given you any problems being so wide on the back? No tire pressure issues, etc.? Let us know!

I bought my '01 430 with 245/45/ZR17's on the stock (chrome 
)17 x 8's. And I actually do like them better than the oem size on our 17" rims. Overall diamter is crazy small at just a tad over 25" with the 235's. Ha, I mean only like .3" taller with the 245/45's...but I like that little bit of extra sidewall for my "spring & "fall", stock wheels. In the summer, though --> 235/35 and 275/30's with 19" wheels. Yeeeahhhh buddy. PS- 275/40's gotta be "bulging" a little on the stock 8" wide rims too, ha. Please post some pics of them bro... I wanna see!

All, I quickly snapped some pics of my car after I got off work with my cell phone. Hopefully the pics came out ok. Thomas, I'm coming for you for clean stock/oem set up!! My baby stays clean too. As I said before, the tires are wide and I actually like the set up for the time being. I think the photo are sized correctly. If not, oh well...I'm focused on football right now lol. On to the pics...

[QUOTE=GokuSSJ3;7528265]I'm rolling on a "staggered" fitment. I have 235/45 on the front and 275/40 on the back. I didn't like the look at first, but I love the wide tires in the back now.[/QUOTE

How? I can't put the 275 tires in the front. That would look very weird, especially with 235 in the back lol.
Thanks! I love the red with the gold paint. I always loved the 49'ers color scheme, so I figured it would look great with my car. No, I did those myself. Painted. I just followed the many DIY on this site and other sites. The prep work is what really makes the paint stick. Sand, Sand, and Sand some more, clean with brake cleaner, let it dry, spray a few light coats of paint letting it dry 15 mins. in between, then hit with the heavy coat. Put decals on after the paint dries and follow the same process with the clear coat and you will look great.
