Default Pics...Camaro on Prostars

Here she is wearing 15x3.5 Prostars in the front with a 165r15 metric radial and 15x8 Prostars in the back with Hoosier 26x9 slicks.

No spacer in the back with a lot of grinding. Spacer in the front with no grinding whatsoever. ARP studs all the way around.

You know what they say, or atleast what I say? Once you go slick, you hate street tires. Looks good man. Have fun hooking. Ah, the joys of WOT in first gear.

I agree it is nice to hook but it is also about just as fun to go back to street and spin some.

I drove around for a week on my ET streets and absolutely HATED going back to street tires. What's worse is that i'm rolling on F1 Supercars and they absolutely SUCK for traction If I had a second car I would definitely keep the fats and skinnies on the car at all times lol

Nice pics guys! I've seen a lot of guys using both sizes. The 15x8's generally require less modification than the 15x10's. That may be why some people use them...i.e. me. However, the 15x10's let you run a bigger tire. I am hoping to get my suspension set up so that I don't need a bigger tire!

Bogarts are sweet but high $$$. However, they don't require modification.

Mine are 15x8. I just figured I wouldn't need any bigger wheel or tire for my car.

I used a spacer for the fronts. I believe it was a 7/16" spacer.

steve do you think eventually the website could get away from using the mouse over the pic method to view it? Every time I want to look at a car on the far right it cuts half of it off.
