the wheels are summit stars 15x4 and 15x8 tires are 185/65/15 up front and nitto 555r 275/60/15 out back. i used no spacers and all of the wheels went on without gridning except the back passanger wheel and it took like 30 seconds to grind it down. but the reason they all fit is cause my brake pads need to be replaced lol.

Looks good, I like a beefy tire and smaller wheel! Brings out that muscle car look!

Looks killer man, nice work. Makes me miss my old pewter car. Ain't it great how those wheels fit with minimal effort!?

Wow those had me fooled. At first glance I thought they were Welds. Looks great! I gotta see some more pics of this. I'm going to be getting some drag wheels soon and can't make up my mind to get Sumitts, Welds, or wait for the Gregs.

Looks good.

I ran 165/80 up front on mine.

What mods do you have? I read some of your other posts and you didn't have much then..and if you still have 2.73 gears those tires are just going to slow you down.
