Default Some pics of new wheels/tires (chrome C5 DD 18s/Toyo R888 315 rears)

Finally got a few pics of the car last night on the way home. I'm really happy with how the car looks on these, and the R888s hook surprisingly well for an 18" non-dragradial tire

Thanks, its a Citizen Potawatomi Nation tag - based out of Shawnee, Oklahoma. It usually says 'SPOOL' (vanity tag), but I'm awaiting the sticker in the mail for that one so I slapped this one back on to avoid popo drama haha

Sick man!! Way to represent us NBM guys..

Look how clean your car looks just sitting there. Thats how these cars are supposed to look like. Not ruined by ugly stripes or anything. Just nice and clean.

What kind of studs are you running? I thought I messaged you about that? Wondering how you are fitting what looks to be closed ended lug nuts over those longer studs unless you didn't install them?

Also are you using a spacer or an adapter and did you roll your fenders?

I'm kinda syked this spring to roll my car outta the garage and try these tires out...I fell into the group that apparently bought those off eBay and it sounds like everyone is enjoying and pleased with them...I'm going from cheap sumitomos to these in my stroked so I'm really hoping to finally see what some traction feels like

Thanks dude, I've always been a fan of plain clean simplicity

Running the ARP 2.5" studs. They're closed end lugs, not sure the brand, but they have the sizing stamped on the sides of them. The fit's real tight, but they haven't cracked yet. I'm running a Mr Gasket 5/16" spacer on the rears and did not touch the fenders. Stock springs on the car all around, fronts have 3/4 of a coil cut off them, and the rears have the isolators removed with the hose mod.

Yeah man the Toyos hook surprisingly well even on cold roads, ready to see how it does from a dig on the street on hot concrete this summer
