Default Wheels

Winter= Stock 16", 7 Spoke Platinum with Dunlop (rides like a true cruiser)
Summer = Stock 17", 5 Spoke chrome with Falken (but Falkens are too noisy, so might change to different tire)

I just bent two of my 18X8" Konig Tantrums. Which sucks but then again I bought 'em before I knew much about wheels. I have a set of SSR Competition wheels coming in 18X8.5. They should be much lighter than what I'm used to.

No I didn't have to roll my fenders, I just had to have the rear inside fender trimmed a little.

Wow Aristo! Aren't 255s a little thin for 10.5-inch wide wheels? :eek:

Default RIMS

Well I have order the centerline forged Rims in 19" That's all that I can afford. I bought the MHT V10 at first but they seemed to bend very easily. I wish i had never spent the money on those things..

My Wheels and Tires be:

SSR GT3s

19 x 8.5 F 245/35/19 Falken Azenis
19 x 10 R 275/30/19 Falken Azenis

I chose the Falken's for the nice tread design, quiet compound, and rim protector. A 285 width in the rear maybe ideal but for a hundred more bucks each it wasn't worth it.

The rim protector doesn't protect against my dumbass purving and swurving and running all into the *****in curve. (E-40 Carlos Rossi circa 1992)

Peace

Here's a pic of the 255' on a 10.5 rim. This was before I lowered my car's suspension.

"Here's a pic of the 255' on a 10.5 rim"

Dude,
There is no way that is a 255 on a 10.5 inch rim, can it? On a 10.5 rim a 255 would be way to narrow.

Peace
