+1, car looks awesome 01cav! Whats your tire setup?

Thanks, the tires are Nitto NT555 255/35ZR20 in the front and Nitto NT555 285/30ZR20 in the rear.

Thanks for the compliments they're really appreciated!

Why do some people go 35 up front and 30 in back? Why not 30-30 or 35-35?


To get close to the same side wall height front to rear when you are running different widths. The second number in tire size gets at side wall as a ratio of tire width.

For a 255/35 the sidewall height is 0.35 * 255 = 89.25
For a 285/30 the sidewall height is 0.30 * 285 = 85.5

If the rear wear a 285/35 the sidewall would be 0.35*285=99.75
You'd be almost an inch more in total tire diameter versus a 255/35.

It's not that hard lol. I had 285s upfront and had tons of room on my 07

With what kind of wheels? With my 275s, I have less than 1" clearance between the tire sidewall and strut body.

I have 20x10.5's with +45. I also run a 7/16 spacer on the front with about -2 degrees camber. I fit my 20x10's with +40 fine with no spacers. I think a 20x10 +35 would be perfect.

Wow, nice! This is so unique and well done without being over-the-top. I lovvvvve that rare interior and the stripes to match. Looks great with the gunmetal wheels. :beer:

Thanks ChrisGT, I've tried to get an aggressive look without going too far. The springs give me a 1 inch drop, with the tires staggered 255/35 in front and 285/35 out back helped get the stance I was going for.

Alright I've been holding out for a while with my car so here it is. I bought it back in 2009 bone stock besides the tinted windows.

Cool thanks

Car looks good. What kind of suspension are you using?
