Cool 275 series tires on a T2 - PICS!

Ok, many of you know that I'm dropping a 20b into my car over the next week. Anyhow... baby steps, right? Today, I bolted up my new 17x9 rims with the Nitto 555R drag Radials in 275 series on there... I like how it looks.... now, I know my garage is filthy, and the car is as dirty as hell (its been sitting there for 6 months!), so no comments on that

Here's a rear shot of them... kind of hard to see...


And here is a shot of passenger side, a little bit better of a pic:

No spacers. My rx7 uses a 40mm offset. These rims are a 30mm offset. They stick out a bit, but not enough to bother me... in fact, I think they look a bit meaner that way

This car is mostly a straightline, cruise around town car anyhow, so it doesn't matter if it throws off the geometry TOO much... I'll be building a 1st gen bridge ported car for the racetrack next year (suspension and NA are the goals for that car).

the nitto drags 275/40s are undersized compared to other 275s. they look to be about as big as a normal 255. 275/35/18s(yok avs sports) rubbed the inner fender on my 7
