Looks nice. What kind of tires are they?

 

[pepperman]

Is there any tire rub when you make a turn?

 

[Grifter]

nice! those 275's look nice on there dont they.. i like mine. are those stock offset rims?

 

[94m5]

Tires are Hankook Ventus V4 ES H105's


420 A A Rated.


Yes the rims are stock offset, customwheelsmarket.com units. There is just BARELY any room at the upper most part of the spindle. So far I'm pretty happy with them, and with the high treadwear rating, should have them for a while.

Looks good Mike. How do the tires handle?? Do they come in the stock size?

 

[mespock]

Oh well maybe I need to get new tires again LOL!!! Maybe I'll use Brent's method of wearing down my new tires. How many doughnuts will it take to wear down 4 new tires?

They look very nice Mike can't wait to see them in person.

My tires have a 360 treadwear and are not lasting me that long. Kinda my fault though.

Nice tires, look exactly like mine. You'll love them, one of the best tires i've ever had, excellent traction even with a blown car.

Beardstown is about 48 miles west of Springfield. Its a 3.5 hour drive to Chitown, and roughly 2 hours from STL.

Not yet,


But I have a cobra intake, 3000 stall, MMX driveshaft, and am building a new center section with 4.10s to go in soon. While I have it all apart, i'm gonna J-mod the tranny to quicken the shifts.





BTW....Thanks JC

[GMAN]

Is there any rubbing when doing a full turn?

 

[MrScalia]

So 255/50/16 wouldn't be a problem?? anyone?

 

[94m5]

*I*, Have no problem whatsoever.


I have heard of other people needing spacers on the front, and needing to roll the inner fender lip on the back. I needed none of that to get them to fit, so I must have lucked out.
