Well, today I bit the bullet and ordered tires, went with the BFG rivals, 295-35-18 all the way around

good lookin rims..

TRTC360

don't let my car be the deciding factor on getting these rims or not as i'm pretty sure it will have a 4x4 stance until I get lowering springs or coil overs if funds allow me, also IMO the 93 forumla wasn't one of the best looking firebirds out there, but hey, I gotta work with what I have so be it!

well, got the rims installed, car looks beautiful now, could use a slight drop but the wheel gap isn't as bad as I anticipated, no pics for now as it's night time. There was a slight misunderstanding on what tires were ordered, ended up with BFG T/A KDW 2 instead of the G force rivals, but i'm not too concerned about that as the car will most likely never see track time. Reviews about the tires were right, pretty noisy but only noticeable on roads that are very quiet to begin with, if the road is somewhat noisy you won't notice it especially with the windows up. Rims fit without issues besides the bump stops on the rear hitting with the suspension unloaded on the lift, front clearance is EXTREMELY close but they fit without spacers. Now to OE, love the rims, beautiful, but for the love of GOD make some better center caps, these plastics ones are not that great IMO, couldn't get all 5 clips to clip on on all 4 caps, there's atleast one clip that won't fall into place and a slight piece of plastic broke on one of them as I tried to get the clip to go into place, left the others like that to avoid breaking more of them, but besides that I love them, wouldn't hesitate to order another set.

time for some pictures



ANDDDDD the money shot! could use a 1-1.5" drop IMO but it doesn't look as bad as I thought as far as monster truck wheel gap haha

Any spacer needed up front?

those look awesome

TRTC360

That's what I was thinking, I was actually pretty surprised that it leveled out like it did. Might keep it like this to maintain drivability, but man it would look nice with a 1-1.5" drop

looks awesome! i think lowering it would finish it off perfectly. i was debating if i wanted to go with 18x10.5s with 295-35-18s all around or go staggered, but i think i have my answer now! nice job

TRTC360

No spacer needed, the clearance from the lip on the inside part of the rim and the upper control arm I believe that's what its called is about 1/4 inch or less. So its verrrryyyyy close but the spacer wasn't needed

Looks great! Some black/clear turn signals would flow better with the rest of the car IMO. The amber stands out too much.

Thought you were getting BFG Gforce Rivals not KDW2s

edit: what color is your car, looks ****!!!!

TRTC360

that was the original plan but there was a slight misunderstanding when the tires were ordered, when I went to get them installed I realized they ordered the wrong ones, but I couldn't afford the extra price for the Rivals, and after I realized how bad the rivals are as far as mileage goes I decided to just go ahead and use the ones they sent. IDK what color it is honestly, it doesn't have pearl in it so I don't think it's the purple pearl metallic that some say it is
