Well my wheels finally came in. Rota grids hyperblack 17x9 et30. The fronts fit fine but im going to have to get camber plates for the back. I couldn't be anymore happy with the look.

I like the wheels. A lot. 9" wide Grids make me feel all tingly inside. However....

Why on earth do you have a 215 wide tire on there?! The whole idea behind a 9" wide wheel is so you can run a 255/40 tire (which is 25" tall which is .1" less than the stock SRT diameter). Why you no like moar traction?

Remember kids, every time you stretch a tire, God kills a kitten. Why do you hate kittens?!

Haha I love kittens! And they aren't that stretched really. I wouldn't really call it stretched compared to some people around here.

Maybe not, but they are stretched nonetheless. Hell, my 7.5" have wider rubber on them (225).

Slap some real tires on there and it will be tits

Read my mind. I have no problem with 225's on my 7 inchers.

Get some 6" rims or don't skimp on the performance aspect of the look. Aside from the tires, the rims are sweet.

225 on a 6" wheel is way less effective than a 215 on a 9" wheel.

How do I know?

Ran 225/50/15 drag radials on my 98 on 2gn 7 spokes.

Looks great dude.

Looks soo good. My only criticism is i think you should've (should) paint the mirrors and should've left the hood scoop insert black I don't ccare for it being color matched

What are the yellow spots on the front? Did you hit a small flock of Peeps?

Read my mind. I have no problem with 225's on my 7 inchers.

Get some 7-8" rims or don't skimp on the performance aspect of the look. Aside from the tires, the rims are sweet.

Fixed

Ryan I am painting the mirrors. Im getting a couple more things that im going to paint all at once.

And the yellow spots are pieces of tape where I needed to buff hahah no peeps.

Looking at it some more...

less poke = more gooder

skaterking411 · Post by **skaterking411** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 12:32 pm

The fronts aren't poking out out the backs are because of the spacer.once the camber plates come I think it'll be fine
