Wow I have a steep learning curve ahead of me. I'm so used to 275/60/20 on 8" wheels and 285/45/22 on 9" wheels with my trucks that no 275 on an 8" wheel is super different lol
stock 235's vs lowered 1" and Nitto NT555 Front: 255/45ZR 18 Rear: 265/55ZR 18 on stock 8.5 rims
It really looks better with more sidewall IMO.
I also think the polished 18" Bullitts are one of the best factory wheels. Often times I wish I still had mine.
well thanks for all the food for thought. I really liked the idea (and look!) of the chrome 8.5" wide bullitts with 255 but I didn't like how much they tuck into the fender. didn't want spacers.. I ended up finding a good deal on a set of Brembo wheels/tires and I couldn't pass it up. so I'm on the 255/40/19s for now, and am hoping to find a 265 when these run out else I'll stick with the 255s.
I'm running 275s square. What is this tramlining you speak of??
Guess you don't have much seat time in places like Boston, MA or other cities where trolley tracks occasionally share pavement with car traffic.I'm running 275s square. What is this tramlining you speak of??
Thanks. They are very pretty wheels IMO but not perfect...close though. I still have the drifts on the car with all seasons. Planning to use them through the cold and then put on the brembos and sell the drifts.Cool man, can't go wrong with brembo's. So you ditched the drifts?
amen to that. These cars have come a long way but I still want to drive a muscle car!the idea of controlling a monster of a car with you bare hands is being lost. Mustangs and camaros are expected to ride like Mercedes these days.
