When FedEx dropped the ball on my delivery he was on the phone to FedEx on Saturday night @ 9 PM. Now that's customer service!!

As Bruce already stated his prices are better than anyone else's too.

Thanks guys!

They hooked me up with a good deal since I have to get 2 sets of tires mounted (8 tires). These and another set of 20s...

Anyways, here's the 15" the 17's will be tomorrow once the tires get here.

Those tires look very familiar Bruce! I take it they showed up ok?

Finaly got my tires mounted and weighed.

Fronts are the Hoosier 26x7.50xR17s street radial on the 17in race stars. 34.5 lbs,each.

Rears are M/T ET Street Radials 275x50x15s on 15x10 race stars. 47 lbs/each.

Just to compare tire wieght with others.

I'll post pics when they are on the car later today.

I haven't weighed my Race Stars/Hoosier 17" fronts...had no idea the radials weighed that much. But....that is alot less than my American Racing 18x9...18x10 that i had on the car. Those weighed a TON.

Not on the car yet.I just put the relocation brackets on.
Pics tomorrow.

Those are the exact same front wheels/tires that i have. My rears are 15x10 with 325-50-15 M/T's.

I had to move some snow to get it out of the barn but here they are.
You can tell it hasn't been drove in a while with the rust on the rotors and it's dirty as hell.
This is the first time it's ever seen the the snow.Out for pics and right back in.

Finally got around to installing the new wheels & tires.

Front wheels are Race Star's 17" x 4.5" w/2.5" backspacing wrapped in M&H Tire's Racemaster 185/55R17s (26.0" in dia.). Notice the wheels easily clear the GT 500 front brakes using stick on weights.

Rear wheels are Race Star's 15" x 10" w/7.5" backspacing wrapped in M/T ET Street Radial 325/50R15s (28.0" in dia.). Notice the wheels easily clear the stock rear brakes using stick on weights.

Still needs to have the front end aligned after installation of the BMR K-Member and A-Arms, PCM reflashed due to the new tire size, and front struts (Tokico D-Specs) & rear shocks (QA1 single adjustable) adjusted.

For those of you asking, the front suspension has 1.25" drop and the rear has 1.0" drop via BMR's lowering springs.

Sorry I don't have any better pics of the entire vehicle, it is still on stands while I adjust the drive shaft angle for the new Axle Exchange 4" aluminum one piece drive shaft.

PS: just a word of caution. Before installing the center caps on the wheels I suggest running a 6 x 1.0mm tap through all the mounting holes

325/50's FTW!!!!

Looks good man!!

Thank you...

I know some prefer the 295/55R15s and I struggled with the decision for a long time between the 2 sizes, especially considering the 325/50R15s require the bump stop bracket to be removed.

I am glad I went with the 325/50R15s
