Sry took so long, 3 days of straight rain!! Anyways, here's pics of the wheels on my car Please excuse how dirty it is....

I think I could have gone up to a 40 maybe even 45 sidewall on the back....what do you think?

Oh, to get these on i did have to jack up the rearend, and use the bfh on a couple places....

315s compared to stockers




could have gone taller...




Sick stance!


Nice lip

Any taller of a sidewall and it would've looked stupid. I'm sorry. I've also never heard of a 315/40 or 315/55 tire...ever.

Aside from my rant, sorry to the OP, I think those wheels fit the car very nicely. I've always been a fan of the red with black wheels. Nice choice!

One question though, why the V6/Formula rear bumper with the TA ground effects and I'm assuming TA front?

No thanks. I like the stock height.

You're prolly right @ the sidewall. Thanks for the compliments though, it definaly helped out the car alot in the looks department! Honestly I have no idea, I bought the car with the formula rear....checked the vin, it is a true T/A so I'm assuming the previous owner changed it when he put in the moser 9" I will admit, I rather like it over the TA bumper and wont be changing it

+1 those look great man. I'd like to convince the wife to let me get a new set of wheels through this sponsor. I'd like to get a custom size for the fronts and rears....

Well I just bought my new rims, and have done a lot of research on tires. 315/35 is it. No larger sidewall available! They look killer!
