Default Got some Welds for basically Free...

A buddy of mine is selling his car, he thought it would sell better without the Welds. So he traded me straight up for the my silver snowflakes. They need new tires, but I got that covered, I can replace all 4 for about 200 + mounting and balancing. My friend does perfesional style photos, but for now, I just snapped these in my drive way.. I ran 11.1 at 122 on factory rims, I wonder if ill be able to do better when i get some better tires on here?

ya you will, the weight loss alone. Put a big enough tire on the rear, and a good 60 ft hell 10's should not be to hard to hit

The tires are 165s on the front, and in the rear are bald Nitto 555rs, 275/50/15(i think) I know there 275/15s, not sure on the 50 part.

Oh, I was cutting 1.60s on stock snoflakes with 255/50/16 MT Radials. Im probably going to go with the same tire but with the 275/15s

Did you do any grinding to get the rims to fit? Theyre 15x4 and 15x8?

When you grind the calipers does that weaken them at all?
