since I want to keep my car as close to originial as possible, I wanted to keep my stock rims, so I also had them widened so I could run a 315s.... Obviously had to use a 1" adapter as well.. definitely one of my better decisions... I used a different company but regardless got the same outcome...

looks good...!

Im pretty happy with the 555s. They are a decent street tire, last a while and can actually hold on to my geared/stalled car pretty well. I dont launch on em, but spirited driving is good for a street tire.

For people wondering about the adapters, here's what I bought to work with mine. They are hub centric and 1" wide. Ironing board not included.

Do you have any pictures of your car? I'm gonna roll my fender lips and probably go with a 1" spacer as well whenever I get around to putting my new wheels and tires on.

We rolled my fender a little and knocked in the inner area a little... These are the old pictures of when we first put them on with the old tires... Nothing taken recently...

Looks good. I was thinking your car was lowered more than what it is, that's why I was wondering how it looked on the rear with the spacers on.

Didn't want to go to much lower due to clearence issues with most of the ridiculously sized speed bumps around here... And my headers already make contact more than I'd care for....

It actually has an Eibach pro kit. Car is sitting higher in my avatar because there's no engine in it at the moment. You may have meant to ask the OP.
