Midwestern Members - Pics of my new rims & tires

I put the new rims & tires on this morning and snapped a few pics. They are 15x4 with Kumho 165/80/15 in the front and 15x7.5 with 275/50/15 MT drag radials in the back. :cool:

Funny thing is, Jason has Jugger's black cowl hood and I have been debating on putting on my car since he doesn't have it on his car anymore. It is a pin-on though and I am thinking about going with a bolton instead.

I have lowering springs waiting to go on in the back and I have QA1 "R" series drag shocks and springs in the front that are adjustable. I haven't had the chance to put on the new springs in the back nor mess with the fronts. I will once it gets warmer out.

Yeah, it's Howell Airport. My old man used to fly in there all of the time. It is about three miles from my condo. Great for taking pics. :nod:

fatter rear tires!!! i love the look of big ass rear tires...just opion but the rims look good they are different!

Yeah they are 275/50/15 (26x11.5x15) on a 7.5" rim. That is why it has the wider foot print like that. I like it! :devil:

Matt the car looks sick,i like the rims alot.

Thanks Sean. Yeah no one cares about that place. It's okay. :devil:

Those do look good, and no grinding is a definte plus.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I would spend $1,000 and switch to drag brakes before I would ever grind again...

Matt, the car looks really nice!!

Matt, the car looks really nice!!

Thanks Andy :chug:

Looking good. Those tires do have a nice foot print. I just got a set for my 15X8 Porstars. I like it. More traction. Unfortunately I ground all my calipers though. But the car does not see street use too much and I plan on getting untouched ones one day and using spacers. Now get the ass end down. Ever think about just pulling out the spring purchases and using hose? Lowers like 1". Made mine look great and saved the cost of springs.

Yeah they are really great tires. I had them on my black car and went 10.85 cam only. I actually went faster on them than a ET Drag.

I have the 5/8" hose ready to go on but haven't had the chance to do it. I plan on putting that on, my rear shocks, and my LCA relocation brackets on this Saturday morning. Sunday I'll be at 41 for test & tune, and the following Sunday I'll be at Byron for the first race of the IMSM series :drive:

What rear shocks you going to run? I have the CE units. Pain to adjust, but they are cheap and I would just leave them at 50/50 anyhow. Def. better than stock.

I have the CE set at 50/50 as well. I had really good results with them before so I went ahead and bought them again.
