Is it just me, or does that look like a Sebring?

The tires look great, I see that the are Michelin's, but what line??? I have Pilot Sports.

The Fuscia color is <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> But it sure makes it stand out in a croud! Finish looks fantastic!

Any way to get a pic from directly behind??

Tires look to be Pilot MXX3? The ones right before the pilot sport.

I'm really not trying to be mean or anything, I can see the money spent, and the work put into it, just a matter of personal preference keeping me from finding it "attractive" but again, that's only my opinion. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I do appreciate the work involved though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I think car is very UNIQUE. But please tell me the car belongs to a WELLL Built, 20 yeard old BLONDE that is a cheerleader at some college(she must be single and looking for a SWM about 18 that also drives a f-body)

If not I am going to start laughing right about..... NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

It truly is a unique car and I am not going to put the car down at all.

I don't have a picture from directly behind, but the offset is perfect on those rims for a big tire like that. I didn't even roll the fender lip. They were tucked in there so nice you never realized how big they were until you were behind the car in traffic.

Jay- Yes, Michelin Pilot SX... I think LG puts that size on their ZR28s

99TA- Yes I'm blonde, well built and in college, but probably not what you've got in mind. (unless sausage is your thing... in which case, tough luck)
Yeah I know the color is subjective.... it's actually House of Kolor "Hot Pink" with purple pearl. It'd probably be a little more girly if it didn't put 500 HP to the wheels.

I've always had wacky colored cars, I paint myself, so it's no big deal to sand it down and change it if I don't like it. I've actually had this car like this for a year or two and am restyling it right now.

The reason Bad Bird put the pics up though was because a bunch of people wanted to see tires bigger than 315 tucked... so there you go.

What size wheels and tires in the front?

Any braking issues? I'm between new tires. Had 275/35/18s all around but recently put 275/40/18s on the rear. The fronts have a little tread left plus I'm thinking about new wheels. Anyway, apparently that size difference throws off my braking at high speeds. Hwy speeds are fine.

Just wondering if you weighed those rears or are you too scared? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I'll guess 66lbs.

Weasel- 17x8.5s in front with a 245.45.17.
The backs were about a half inch taller, but I never had a problem with the brakes.

Circumference was only .01" off and .01mph off at 60.

The wheel/tire combo is pretty kickass. Those tires must be expensive. Why didn't you opt for 18s in the front??
