Wagon wheels on a F-bod. I've got a set of wagon wheels with some trashed tires on em. I want to put tires of them obviously, but I'm torn between using the 275/40 in the rear and having the speedo corrected, or running the 275/35, not worrying about the speedo, but having a significantly shorter sidewall than the front.
Does anyone here have any pictures of what their cars look like with the wagon wheels and either tire sizes? I have a 97 T/A if that makes any difference.

I actually like them, they work well on a bright red car. I don't think they'd look as good in chrome, or on a different color car.
That's with the 275/35 in the rear, the sidewall just looks too short compared to the front.

i love the look of the wagon wheels on my Z. i plan on getting 2 18's for the front and powder coating them gloss black. im currently in the process of trying to make that a reality
I dont think u will be happy with the gloss black look^^^^^
they would look alot better in a satin polish finish if dont like chrome, better than silver u have now.
the chrome look excellent on black and blue cars with red calipers, im painting my yellow to gloss red now.
for some reason the pint of the calipers bounces alot off the chrome wagon wheels
i get alot of looks on daily basis. when its clean

SoxXpupPeT: What size tires are you running in the rear?
MonmouthCtyLS7: What springs did you use? The stance looks perfect.
The pics are great, I'm really wanting to do the 275/40's, shame a tune isn't cheap.

1.5" drop springs in the front...and I removed the isolators in the rear because the aftermarket rear springs were to low imo. They car being a mutt, the front was actually to high when I first got it.
man I am going to get flamed for this one but leave the wagon wheels to vette owners. I know its just an opinion thing but those just don't really flow with the car that well in my opinion. just my .02.
Thats alot of peoples opinions w/ the wagon wheels...but its just that... an opinion...For some its a nice cheap alternative to get some bigger wheels...Sure as hell beats going out and spending a grand on a set of wheels and tires.
if we go about it that way, then every z06, zr1, etc. wheel, should stay on the vettes.
Here's my old car with 18s on all four.
I ran 265/35/18s up front and xxx/35/18 on the rear. I don't want to say what was on the rear because it was the wrong size for the wheel.
Anyways...
