poor man track pack :) I did alittle grinding on the front spokes but they look great with an 1" spacer up front...rears are 17" y2k's on 275/40 nt555r's
definately feels way lighter on the front end with just a few take-offs on the street...

Those GTO spares? haha, I was so pissed when I got my GTO back in 2009 and the wheel in the trunk looked cooler than the 17s...the factory 18s were on the car shortly after.

Is that your first set of NT555R? They are terrible as a track tire and really only good for slightly increased street traction.

ive been playing with them on the street these past 2 days and they hook like sick really surprised me...but youre probably right they might suck at the track :/
I have used probably 8 sets of the NT555 on my Camaro, T/A, and GTO. They're a great tire combo for a daily driver and a weekend warrior. They make a pretty terrible track tire but give you that extra bite on the street.

Ok, I have a stupid question and I apologize in advance if it's redundant.
Those are GTO spares, and even with a 1" spacer, you had to grind the inside spokes of the wheel to clear the calipers (I'm assuming)?
Also, would you PM me the link to the spacers you're using? I've been looking for GTO's to be parted out local to me to grab the spare wheel but I hadn't researched enough to know grinding was necessary. Again, sorry if I asked a totally asinine question
