Default What are you lowered 18in guys running for tires
I've got a set of 18x9.5 y2k wheels w/ f-body backspacing, the tires im running now are goodyear f1 275/40/18 all the way around....the car is a convertible and i'm gonna go with the pro kit, So if you guys could show me some pics or just tell me your tire combo that would be appreciated.
thanks David
