Default My bigs/littles......

Just mounted them last night & absolutely love them. The 27's look so good in the wheel well & they don't bulge like I thought. I'm guessing cause the birds have wider fenders. But it definetly made my car look like it should. The wheels themselves fit like a glove. No spacers & stock studs along with no grinding.

So for anyone having a hard time finding pics of these on NBM, here you go. I know in all my searches I only found (1) other NBM WS6 on this entire site with pics of their ride with Convo's & it had 26" MT's. I think the 27's loot a ton better though.

Enjoy.......

Tires: 27-10.5-15 Mickey Thompson ET's & 165 R15 86T Kumho's

looks good the question I have is what is the back spacing of the wheels.I've got some mickeys coming but I was running Hoosiers on 10" with 5.5 and they were outside of the body on my Camaro.

The rears are 8 or 8.5's thats how I kept from grinding. I know the 8's have I believe 4" backspacing where the 8.5's have 5.5" bs. I'd have to ask the guy I bought them from again. I just know they fit without spacers or grinding & didn't stick out as much as I thought they might.

Yea, I like the Prostar look too, but do not like the idea of grinding & Bogarts are outta my budget. Car is mostly street driven too & I see Prostars on everyones cars, so I wanted something a little different too.
