Default 19" Ruff Racing 280s are on !!

I snapped some pics of the new wheels and tires on my T/A. Wheels are 19x8.5s/19x9.5s chrome Ruff Racing 280s mounted on 245-35s/275-35s. I would have went with black with a polished lip but these wheels just look better in chrome, plus chrome is easier to maintain. But basically I got these because of the rear 4" lip. Now I want to lower the car but I'm getting LT's so I probably won't. And yes I know I have a center cap missing, it's supposedly in the mail.

I like those wheels, but that chrome just looks too flashy/blingy for some reason. Silver centers with a polished lip probably would have looked better on a performance car.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ya wider wheels would have been better, but these are just for looks on the street. I'll get some 17X11 ZR-1s for the track soon.

I know what you mean Nine Ball, but I mostly picked chrome because it lasts and its easy to clean. Plus the ladies love shiny things.

What hubcentric adapters did you use? I'm purchasing Ruff's next month and I'm worried about which adapter to buy.

I didn't. The ones they sent me were wrong and weren't allowing the wheel to sit center on the hub so I took them to a buddy at his alingment shop and they centered them on the hub without any hubcentric rings.

call rt tire, they have the right rings. no way they will stay centered with out them. I also have the 280's for about a year now, have been great. and they easily stuff a 295 drag radial under them. PM me I think I have the package from the rings, as well as rt tires number. believe me, from experence a few launches and they move.

What offset are you running on the rear!?!? That 4" lip is awesome. I have the 278s and the offset is 45mm with a 3" lip.
