Finally bought some wheels!!

[SPSully]

245 in the front is right..... but wider is better....throw some 275 or even 285 in the rear. I havent seen the 285 but I'm convinced I can make it work

Wide tires on those wheels with their 38 offset ain't gonna work too well. I had problems with 245s and Eibachs.

There is no need to go that wide with a wheel that narrow ( not that its all that narrow ). It will actually cause odd wear on the tires from the tire mushrooming out across the top.

Also like NYC said, its definitely going to rub with that wide of a tire.


Wider can be better, but its wider wheels that are beter not just wider tires.

 

[JWerner2]

Fons man,.... I cant wait to see this. I am so glad to hear you got that last wheel. That would really suck if someone stuck you on it.



That is so cool that it did turn out proper like! But I'm not sure about that tire on a car as low as yours with that offset.

till tonight when your car gets thrown on cynder blocks

Please dont do that!! Take the whole car, remove the wheels and then burn the entire car so I can get an insurance settlement!!

 

[NYC LS8]

I'm closer. Do mine first.

 

[SPSully]

hahahahahahaha roight if only this werenta public forum!

 

[HyeLifeLS]

Hey I got 285s too, me next me next...

 

[SPSully]

wow there could be some good money in this! and yet all you LS lovers should be ashamed of yourselves!

 

[JWerner2]

:lol: @ insurance fraud for hire!


But NHLS the thing is everyone with 285 have way wider wheels. With a 285 on a wheel like Fonsito's they mushroom out and the center wears faster than the rest of the tire.

and yet all you LS lovers should be ashamed of yourselves!

You mean former LS lovers??

 

[fonsito]

After you finish burning the cars and getting the 285's please send them to Puerto Rico

 

[SPSully]

I get my set first.... then I'll sell of the rest to highest bidder.

That's because I had to use a crappy BlackBerry camera!

 

[fonsito]

The car right now is at a local car show representing a local car forum... so pics will have to wait for next weekend but my friend took some pics there so i will post them when I get them

 

[2000 LS]

You could have atleast posted a picture with the wheel turned the other way so we could get a better idea, get to it!!!

 

[JWerner2]

I am interested in how the tires turned out.

Fill us in dude.

 

[fonsito]

The tires are 245-40-18 and they turned out fine... no rubbing what so ever

I hope to post pics today
