Tweak's wheels now. :D















I'ts not clean, and I am NOT a fan of the exhaust, but ...yeah that's what it is now. The stretch on the rears is interesting, I MIGHT need to find some wider rear tires next time. (these are only 225) Can't complain though!

off to pullman I go.

Good news. I made it to pullman! haha. Car is running well, but hot. I will need to figure out how to get the stock fan and shroud back on it. You really can't go wrong with it.

Thanks for the comments guys! I really like the wheels too. I am unable to go into boost still (a few more weeks) but I am sure the extra traction will be nice. Next I need to roll the front fender juuuussstt a tad. .. although I can't hit boost I have been taking the corners like a crazy NA, and they are rubbing just a little. hehe. I missed driving this car so much. Night and day different from the car I was driving (in the background of the picture with the hood up haha)

I have way 2 many 7s... O.o Jenkins Jr.?

Yes a little wider wheels on the rear would be nice but I got these ones for a great price! haha. Those rear tires btw, are SUPER loud on the freeway. (if anybody cares)

Looks good tweak. I fit 275 on my 9" rears easily, if you want lots of tire for all that boost that'll be coming soon.

Yeah, I plan to do something of that nature after I get a feeling for the car. I am beginning to really get into suspension work and I'm not sure how difficult it is going to be to get the best traction with a 275 / 225 tire size ratio. For now this will have to do. Winter is going to hit soon, so either I am going to have to buy some falken 615s for xmas, or ride on these till all the ice is gone. haha. Actually I will need some winter tires for sure, the rears I got now = death on snow / ice.

Again, thanks for the nice comments.
