New rims & tires.

They've been on for about a month but I just now got the chance to post some pics.

What do you all think?






The new tires are also 225's instead of 215's and are a much much better tire overall than the Pirellis...not that the Pirellis were aweful, these are just that much better. They are Bridgestone Potenza REO50A Pole Positions.

Re: New rims & tires.

Are they 18's or 17's? Looks good, but it needs to be lowered now.

I was always a fan of the silver, but those go well with the hood.

Re: New rims & tires.

They are the stock size of 18", the only thing that has changed is the tire width has been bumped up to 225 from 215. I have also got a brand new set of eibach springs that have been tucked away for the last few months that will be going on one of these days when I get around to it. They'll drop the back 1/2 and inch and leave the front stock ride hieght.

The width is 10mm wider but it still adds a tad to the height. I'm sure you know that though.

Why would you drop the back lower than the front?

I like them. I still think 18s are too big but that is just my .02

I won't be dropping the back lower than the front as the rear of the car sits about 1 1/2 inches higher than the front. I'll just be making the car a little more level is all. It really does look strange because of the much higher rearend at the moment.

Oh, I see. That's cool. Should look pretty sweet.

Those look great. I agree, that lowering it will just make it look that much better.
