Default New here with a 00 ws6

sup guys, i finally got a v8 that i've been dreaming of for a long time! i've had this car for about a week now and i've really enjoyed it. my bro also has a 99 z28 camaro and i came from a 87 supra with a 1jz swap that i converted to a single pt70 (i still have it but am enjoying the ws6 for the moment). my ws6 is red with 42k miles, when i bought it it had 41k miles. i got it for 14,800 and it is in mint condition, i purchased it from an older couple who were mechanics that worked only on f-bodies so they took very good care of it. i hope to keep it in the same shape as when i bought it. here are some pics of the car, not the best quality pics but just so you guys can see it.

Looks good. My guess would be that 275 width is the stock size.

difference between a 245/40 tire and a 275/40 tire... the width is the 245 and the 275... the sidewall is 40% of that.. which would make a thicker side wall on the 275 tire...


for them to be closer sidewall on different widths you would need something like a.. 245/50 and a 275/40... i think
