Yeah I'm a little jealous. But they wouldn't have cleared my brakes anyways. So I can't be too upset lol. Get em mounted man.

Did you need a spacer on the rear for the wheel to fit? I have a 2000 SS and am not sure if the rear wheels will fit without a spacer? Thanks and they look great!

So the time has come, the snow is gone and the day are nice Now time to buy some tires. I have been doing some looking , any one have any suggestions on tires for 17x9.5 and 18x10.5. My thing is a lot of what I have seen sizes 275 40 17 and 295 35 18 don't match for the same kind of tire. How many people run don't run the same fronts as rears (brands) . Most my driving will be summer fall maybe some rain
Good looking tread design also

Nitto 555 offers great handling with an aggressive footprint.

Either a very small spacer, or bash the inner wheel well.
