[QUOTE=KingCdogg;14657076]Snapped some pics at work today after I got the wheels on. RPM 505 19x9.5 on all four corners with 275/30/19 all around. Probably will run a bit bigger tire on the rear next go around since I still have some room height wise. 38mm offset. Also installed the UMI on car adjustable panhard bar that just happened to show up as I was getting ready to put the wheels on. Car is lowered on Strano springs and thanks Sam for the quick shipping on the panhard bar. I'm really happy with how everything looks.
Car looks good man, wondering if you have any sort of tire rub with those 19's. A guy on here has 19" CCW 505A's and he said he had some slight tire rubbing from time to time. I think 19" wheels fill out the wheel well perfectly as opposed to 18's but I just haven't decided to pull the trigger yet on purchasing a set. He's also on Strano's with Koni shocks. Btw, what shocks are you running with those?

As far as exhaust, its a borla true dual kit with x pipe. I'm guessing the tips are borla as well, but it was already on the car when I got it. I love the exhaust tips, but not in love with the sound all that much.

Let us know how those tires work out. It is strange that good tires are twice as much as the wheels are. This is what is holding me up. Can't decide if I want to use some inexpensive tires I have never heard of or pony up for namebrand tires....

Choose your tires based on your driving habits.

Those look real nice black on black. I really like those wheels but the hyper silver on my Pewter I'm just not feeling enough to pull the trigger. I have seen several pix on here, sometimes they look good others not so much. Why is choosing wheels so damn hard?

Here is an additional pic for those who might want to see up close clearance of fender gap with the Strano springs, and you can also see the tires and tread a little better. Although, the car is on a bit of a left bank where it is in the parking lot so the fender gaps may be a little bigger than if on perfectly flat ground, but none the less still plenty of room for 19's.

Well put. Although it may look mean, I work at a Hot rod restoration shop and am really into older cars, but do like my modern F-Body's. This is my DD, I have a set of winter wheels/tires, and it has no mods other than exhaust and long tube headers. I don't have any plans to mod this car until the motor goes out, then it'll get some crazy power, but until then I have no need for a $1,200 set of tires. I don't street race and don't go to the track, just want a nice looking f-bod to drive around when I'm not cruising my 1957 Ford Pickup. Yes, I said ford..... haha

I think it would be a good idea to get these wheels and have the centers powder coated light gold. That would like really nice on a pewter colored TA.
