Got My Saladshooters over the weekend i got some saladshooters from pick and pull.
200 with good tires
So now im going to plasti-dip them black. and depending on how well that goes i may plasti dip the whole car.(not likely)
i only had time to clean two of the rims and some of the clear coat is peeling so they will look better black.
Ill post pics as i get them done
:::EDIT:::::- i am well aware my phone takes pics as good as a potato can.

because tires are cheaper for smaller rims.
plus ill have thinner tires and lighter rims for better mpgs.
( i drive allot.)
And im one of the few that actually like these rims .
(if i had a 93-97 these wouldve never left the car)
Now i can make a profit off my c5s or use them for racing.
thats called winning

I've thought about going to a more common size though because you cant find 16 245/255 in classifieds much. I do like stock rims though, makes everyone think your cars still stock too

also im not gonna be doing anything crazy. hell i dont even get traction now, so im not gonna go messing around on skinnier tires.
(unless i had something like nitto T05s...)
No. I wouldn't run 275s on an 8" wheel unless you have ridiculously tall sidewalls.
Still, even time I do see "salad shooter" I pretty much assume 99.9% of the time it will be the 93-95 (not sure what year they ended) Camaro wheels. Awesome deal OP. Seems like I never see anything good at a pick and pull yard.

That's what I thought too. I'm looking for a spare set. Still, even time I do see "salad shooter" I pretty much assume 99.9% of the time it will be the 93-95 (not sure what year they ended) Camaro wheels. Awesome deal OP. Seems like I never see anything good at a pick and pull yard.

Seems like I never see anything good at a pick and pull yard. So i stopped a guy and he said they might be able to hold them for me. it was a v6 i believe and it had those aftermarket ricer lights in the back....
anyways i cant wait to freshen these things up
The tires are just too wide. It's not safe to run a tire that is too wide (or too narrow) for the rim. The tires will have a large bulge and not be flush. You should consider running something in the range of 235-255.
I can also smash a round peg in a square hole if I push it hard enough, but that's doesn't mean it's right.
