Default Couple of Quick Pics + Sound Clip
I wanted to get some quick shots of the car with the 17" wheels up front and the 16" wheels in the rear to show off the new 315/45/16 M/T Drag Radials. These bad boys look like they are gonna hook so hopefully next weekend I should have a 10 second slip in my possesion.

I also included a sound clip of the new exhaust setup which consists of Kooks 1 7/8's leading to a 4" Flowmaster y collector thru a 4" QTP cutout then back into the Borla

not a fan of offset sizes in general on f-bodies, but especially not bigger rims up front than in back.

it just makes it look really odd having massively different sidewall heights, and the bigger wheels up front just make it worse.

no offense, don't take it personally or anything....i just think it would look a lot better with the same wheel diameter front/back.

No offense taken I have the fronts in 16's also. I just don't care for the way the car rides with the 16's on the front. Due to the size I'm kinda limited in tire selection and the tires on there now don't have a very big contact patch .

Older pic with the 16's all around.
