Regular pro star set up 15x3.5 fronts 15x10" rears with 325/50/15s



and 17x11 rear ZR1s (deep lug) on 315/35/17s




just make sure you cut the bump stop and beat the fenderwells in or you'll end up like this.

18 x 10.5 inch TT2s....no idea on the offset lol. They stick out maybe a cm on each side.











Wheel wells are hammered, fneder lips rolled, and also I installed so larger stronger bumpstops from Hawks Third Gen to keep the car from coming down on the tires.

i actually didnt find out about those until after i got mine. was gonna order 4 more for back up tires but they were out of stock by then. damn!! LOL. i think they were $75 a tire? I bought mine for $135 a tire shipped to hawaii via shop wholesale pricing/ tirerack closeout, probably would have been about the same including shipping. so not that much of a loss. lol.
