New torque thrust on the bird!
New torque thrust on the bird! Well guys I needed new tires on my stock t/a. I was looking at just replacing the rubber on my 16s but an incredible deal came up I had to take! A man in town was parting out a 55 chevy hotrod and had these 17 in torque thrusts on it. The tires and rims all have been driven on less than 2000 miles. The fronts are 230 45 17. The rears are 255 45 17 and have prolly 75% tread left (he did a few burnouts). On top of that I got 2 brand new tires for the rear which are 275 40 17. All four rims, six tires for $850!!! I took a snapshot after I got them on and I am loving them! Car is dirty because we have been having a lot of rain. Lemme know what you all think of the new shoes!

Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] Thanks! Im sort of confused about your opinion though. Whether or not you think they look good or are too wide. Personally I just like the wide stance! Looks mean as hell. Musclecar to me brings thoughts of big fat rear meaty tires and slightly smaller yet noticeably smaller fronts. I like the diameter the same though. The front is just in line with the fender and the rear wider.

Yeah the rears stick out way too much for only a 275 they look like they are out farther than my 315s were but its all because of the backspacing.
You got a good deal on some nice looking rims they just dont match up right IMO.

Verdad Gallardo Hey if you got a good deal who cares. If you like um than thats all the matters! I like um..it needs to be lowered and they do stick out from the quarters a bit but it looks tuff at the same time!
Appreciate it fellas! I like em alot and they ride very nice.
I would lower it but clearance issues with the roads prohibit me. At least the wells are filled up more now though. Those stock 16s are just no comparison in looks or beefiness.
