PICS, Iforged Astras + Nitto Invos on '99 camaro
1. It was getting dark so i had to brighten up the photos which explains why they're so grainy....when i get some nice daylight shots i'll post em.
2. It needs to be lowered BADLY. It looks like a 4x4 truck as is. UPDATE lowered pic added.
3. I know i still need to change the front lugs
WHEELS are Iforged Astras. 18 x 9.5 and 18x10.5
TIRES are nitto invos. 295-35-18 and 245-40-18
I went from stock rims and crappy *** no name 245 tires that cost 70bucks a piece...to these. The ride is greatly improved.
The nittos have a really firm sidewall, excellent traction, and are very quiet.
UPDATE Kyb AGX shocks and BMR lowering springs installed. appearance greatly improved! The spring/shock combo isn't really what i expected, but is very comfortable. I fully expected the combo to be MUCH stiffer with far more dampening. It turns out that the shocks, on setting 8 which is max dampening, are quite soft. If i did it again i'd probably get bilsteins....BUT i'm satisfied with it. It sticks to the road, stays VERY flat around corners, and is very quiet and comfortable.
I have no idea what the final weight of each wheel+tire is...

They're slightly less grabby than a cold(no burnout) 255-50-17 MT street radial.
I was able to chirp em in second but that's it. they're really great.
just fyi, this was on a freshly paved blacktop road

Nice choices, both on wheels and tires.
